Ajax defender Jorrel Hato was reportedly seen at Anfield during Liverpool’s game yesterday, fueling transfer rumors linking him to several top clubs.
Hato has earned a reputation as one of Europe’s most promising young defenders, with his performances at Ajax attracting interest from Liverpool, Arsenal, and Chelsea.
The 18-year-old Netherlands international could potentially choose any top club, but his reported presence at the Liverpool match suggests he may favor a move to Merseyside.
While it hasn’t been officially confirmed that Hato was at Anfield, fans shared photos online of someone resembling the Dutchman, insisting it was him in attendance.
A move to Liverpool could make sense, as Hato’s versatility as a center-back and left-back makes him a promising long-term replacement for Virgil van Dijk or Andrew Robertson.
Meanwhile, Arsenal’s interest may have cooled following their summer signing of Riccardo Calafiori and the rise of Myles Lewis-Skelly.
It’s also possible Hato was simply visiting England and decided to attend a match, with plans to visit other clubs in the future. Until the player or media confirm his presence, fans will have to wait for more clarity on the situation.
If Liverpool were to secure Hato, it would be an exciting addition to their defensive lineup, reinforcing their ambitions for the future.
