Hato has caught the attention of several major European clubs, including Chelsea and Arsenal. According to sources, Arsenal have intensified their discussions with Ajax and held positive talks with Hato's representatives.
Arsenal are reportedly offering Hato a six-year contract. The club has been interested in the young defender since January and wants to secure his signing before Chelsea takes action.
Chelsea have also been in contact with Hato and his agent earlier in the offseason. It remains to be seen whether Arsenal will be able to sign the talented defender before their rivals do.
