Rumoured Liverpool transfer target Jorrel Hato has revealed why he was at Anfield last weekend, assessing his chances of moving to the club in 2025.
The 18-year-old is arguably one of the most exciting young defenders in Europe currently, becoming a key player for Ajax at an extremely tender age.
Hato was even spotted at Anfield watching Liverpool’s 4-1 victory at home to Ipswich Town in the Premier League last weekend, leading to excitement growing about a potential move in the January transfer window.
It has since been revealed that the teenager was invited to the game by Ryan Gravenberch, and speaking to De Telegraaf [via Sport Witness], he discussed his presence on Merseyside last weekend and confirmed he is staying at Ajax for now:
“We don’t have to do a lot because he is an exemplary professional. Of course, he has fun with the boys and that’s something that needs to happen because that makes sure you train happily. But he is also a very serious guy in the sense that he trains well, he takes care of himself.”
Hato is sure to have plenty of suitors come the end of the season, but Liverpool are a huge draw under Arne Slot and he will hopefully see the Reds as his ideal next club.
