Ajax defender Jorrel Hato is “being watched” by Liverpool ahead of a potential move to Anfield this summer, according to Fabrizio Romano.
The Reds will be searching long and hard for possible new signings at the end of the season, with long-term replacements for Virgil van Dijk and Andy Robertson needed.
Additions will be needed in various areas of the pitch, but centre-back and left-back must be positions of focus in the coming months.
Speaking on his YouTube channel [via Rousing The Kop], Romano claimed that Hato is a target for Liverpool ahead of the summer transfer window.
starting 19 Eredivisie games this season and registering six assists in the competition, and analyst Ben Mattinson has heaped praise on him, saying:
“Hato is something else man. Special talent. Won a penalty by underlapping the LW, playing a 1-2 and driving into the box then was taken down. 1-0 up in the 77th min. I love how this season he’s played LB, really platforms his ability to break the press and defend wide areas.”
The fact that Liverpool are seemingly tracking Hato closely is so encouraging, and if they can snap him up in the summer, it could be a sensational piece of business as the years pass.
