Ajax youngster Jorrel Hato has now admitted that a move to Arsenal would be something of a dream despite recent links to Liverpool.
Hato was speaking to ELF Voetbal and mentioned Jurrien Timber’s career trajectory as a great one to follow.
The 17-year-old said that although Timber was unfortunate with his injury early on, the move to Arsenal was a smart one.
Hato said it was a huge ambition of his to make such a move, but admitted there’s a lot of work to go yet.
Unfortunately he [Timber] was seriously injured in his first Premier League game for Arsenal, but he is still young and has a bright future ahead of him.
“In any case, the move to Arsenal was a wonderful one for him.
“It is also my dream to one day make such a transfer, but I realize that I still have a very long way to go.”
Given just how well he’s fared in the Ajax first team at 17 this season, Hato will have a host of clubs interested in his signature.
Of course, clubs in Europe will be well advised to keep an eye on the progress of all Ajax academy graduates.
