Chelsea 'agree personal terms' with £35m defender wanted by Liverpool and Arsenal

Chelsea have agreed personal terms with Ajax defender Jorrel Hato and look set to wrap up their latest arrival in a lavish summer of spending, reports claim.

The Blues have been locked in talks to sign the highly-rated 19-year-old, a promising young Dutch international who already has over 100 games under his belt for his club.

His agent confirmed that negotiations had taken place and Hato is rapidly closing in on sealing his move to Stamford Bridge for a fee worth around €40million (£34.7m).

That is according to Fabrizio Romano, who has also reported that Hato has informed Ajax's hierachy of his desire to make the switch to Chelsea.
