Arsenal in talks to sign 42 million pounds Sterling Defender

While finishing second in the Premier League and reaching the semi-finals of the Champions League would be an unreal campaign for most clubs, it was not for Arsenal.

Mikel Arteta’s team has entered this season, finally hoping to overcome the line in a major competition, not to remain any more.

That said, this year was not a total radiation, because there have been massive positive points, including the emergence of Ethan Nwaneri and Myles Lewis-Skelly.

The latter, in particular, seems now intended for celebrity since the cement of a starting place in northern London and wins three caps for the senior national team.

However, in an exciting development, recent relationships are now binding arsenal to another young person who could be an even greater talent.

Arsenal seeks to sign a new defender

While Arsenal has been linked to a multitude of established superstars that could come and have an immediate impact on the first team this summer, several extremely exciting perspectives have also been presented to move to the club in recent weeks, such as Kenan Yildiz and Konstantinos Karetsans.

The first could be available for 86 million amazing sterling pounds, and although it was a breathtaking sum of money for a 20 -year -old man, he was able to score seven goals and provide five assists in just 35 serie appearances this year.

Karetsans, on the other hand, could cost a little more acceptable of 38 million pounds sterling, although with him still being 17 years old and managing only seven goal options in 39 games this year, it could still be too much.

In addition, it would be difficult to compare one or the other young in Lewis-Skelly, unlike Jorrel Hato.

According to a recent report by the transfer expert, Fabrizio Romano, Arsenal and Chelsea are incredibly interested in the jewel of Ajax.

In fact, the Italian claims that during last week, the Gunners “called” the Dutch giants to learn more about the young defender.

Romano does not mention how much a potential agreement could cost, but according to other reports earlier this week, Amsterdam’s holding could ask up to 42 million pounds sterling.

This could be a complicated and expensive transfer to overcome the line, but given the immense capacity and the potential of Hato, it is an arsenal that should fight, especially since it could be a greater talent than Lewis-Skelly.

How Hato compares to Lewis-Skelly

Okay, the first thing to say is that no one disputes the fact that Lewis-Skelly is a simply phenomenal talent, which at this stage seems to be part of the first Arsenal team for the coming years and probably a regular starter for Arsenal as well.

However, at this stage, it is not controversial either, at least it should not be, to suggest that Hato is a greater talent, and there are several reasons why.

First, when this season was the revolutionary campaign of the young Englishman, and it has not become a regular element of the first team in the second half of it, the Ajax star, who has “the potential of superstar”, according to the scout U23 Antonio Mango, has been playing senior football for some time now.

He made his first team debut for the holding of Amsterdam in February 2023, when he was only 16 years old, and since then, he played 111 games for the first team, in which he scored four goals and provided nine assists – he also made his debut in senior national team at 17, in November, the same year.

In addition, in another example of how absurdly developed and highly evaluated the talent born in Rotterdam, he started 102 of these 111 club games and even carried the captain’s armband several times.

Finally, in addition to the experience and responsibility that the “exceptional” talent, baptized by analyst Ben Mattinson, has on the jewel of the Gunners, he also comes out in mind when we compare the underlying numbers of the two adolescents.

For example, the 19-year-old does much better in parameters such as real and expected objectives of non-symptom, key passes and passes in the penalty zone, actions to create goals, plated, blocks, interceptions, clearances, air duels won and more, all for 90.

In the end, Lewis-Skelly is a superstar in the making, and that, there is no doubt, but as things are, Hato seems even better.

Therefore, Arsenal should do everything they can to sign the Dutch gem this summer because he could be a world class player a few years.
