Arsenal frustrated Chelsea signed Jorrel Hato from Ajax

Arsenal are frustrated that Chelsea managed to sign Jorrel Hato from Ajax in the summer transfer window, according to TBR. The Gunners had been planning to get a deal done for Hato this summer, but it was the Blues who managed to get the deal done.

Journalist Graeme Bailey told TBR: “It’s just one of those transfer situations that’s fallen the wrong way for Arsenal this time around.

“It felt right for Arsenal to go for someone like Zubimendi this summer for example, but with Hato, it’s just not landed for them

“When it came to Arsenal signing Timber, they were on the right side of the coin, they weren’t favourites to get him but they pulled it off.

“But particularly with Zinchenko still around, it’s just how it’s landed, and they’ve missed out.

“I think Arsenal would have moved for Hato if they managed to offload Zinchenko, and there’s definitely a lot of frustration at the Emirates because they know what a talent Hato is.

“They fully expect him to go on and become a top-class European player.”
