Arsenal have made Ajax centre-back Jorrel Hato one of their top targets for the summer transfer window, according to reports.<\/p>\n

The 18-year-old made his debut for Ajax last season but quickly established himself as a first-team regular at the start of the current campaign.<\/p>\n

Hato was rewarded by Ajax for his impressive breakthrough season with a new contract which keeps him tied to the Dutch club until 2028.<\/p>\n

But according to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Arsenal are \u2018pushing\u2019 to sign Hato this summer and are already preparing a move.<\/p>\n

\u2018Arsenal are also working on their future, they have many wonderkids in their academy but there is a player they\u2019re after and he\u2019s playing at Ajax, he\u2019s a centre-back and it\u2019s Jorrel Hato,\u2019 Romano said on the Here We Go podcast.<\/p>\n

\u2018Hato signed a new deal with Ajax a few months ago, Ajax are obviously more than happy with him and hoping to keep Hato at the club in the summer.<\/p>\n

\u2018But Arsenal are still following him, they\u2019ve tracked him multiple times, they believe he is a top, top centre back in terms of potential, so keep an eye on Arsenal. They are still pushing on Hato and they believe they are frontrunners in the race to sign him.<\/p>\n

\u2018Let\u2019s see if they can make it happen this summer, or has to be in the future, but Hato remains one of the priority names on Arsenal\u2019s list.\u2019<\/p>\n

Speaking after joining Ajax in the January transfer window, Jordan Henderson claimed Hato \u2018has a bright future ahead of him\u2019.<\/p>\n

\u2018It\u2019s crazy how young he is, but obviously how mature he looks when he\u2019s on the pitch and also off the pitch,\u2019 Henderson said.<\/p>\n

\u2018He\u2019s a very mature person, works hard, fantastic player, and yeah, he has a bright future ahead of him, I\u2019m sure. I think he just needs to continue to do what he\u2019s he\u2019s been doing.\u2019<\/p>\n
