Bayer Leverkusen coach Erik ten Hag says he’s convinced Chelsea defender Jorrel Hato will be a success at Stamford Bridge.
Recall that Ten Hag observed Hato’s rise at Ajax before leaving to take charge of Man Utd in summer 2022.
His Bayer Leverkusen side lost 2-0 to Chelsea in a pre-season friendly on Friday, during which Hato came off the bench.
When asked about the rising Netherlands star, Ten Hag told the Metro that Chelsea have pulled off a coup with the signing of Jorrel Hato.

“I bet he regrets not having me at Ajax, given that they haven’t won any titles in recent years. When I left, he arrived, but he’s developed and progressed very well.
“He was one of the best, perhaps the best player in the Eredivisie. He’s so young, but already at a very high level.”
He added: “You always need a bit of time, but he has an excellent mentality, so he can develop very quickly. He has all the elements, all the qualities in his game to show that he can become a very successful player.
“I am absolutely convinced that he will be successful at Chelsea. I congratulate Chelsea.”
