Jorrel Hato

Jorrel Hato is a left-back center defender who can play as a left-back defender. He is excited to be committed to the Chelsea project, and the progress of the advanced talks between Chelsea and Ajax is gradually coming to a close. Hopefully, he will soon be a Chelsea player and ready to join the rest of the squad when they resume their preseason training.

Xavi Simons

Xavi Simons played for PSV for just one season and was in the PSG academy before going on loan in 2023–2024 to RB Leipzig in the German Bundesliga League, where he scored 11 goals and had 8 assists. Xavi is just 22. He is a creative attacking midfielder and will be a good prospect for Chelsea.

We are optimistic that Chelsea will wrap up this deal sooner than expected.
