Jorrel Hato would be a superb addition

The Netherlands International is highly rated across Europe, and he could prove to be a quality long-term investment for both clubs.

Manchester United could use more depth in the defensive unit, and the 20-year-old would be a very useful option. He can operate as a full-back as well as a central defender. He could develop into a quality player for them.

Hato could be the ideal long-term replacement for Luke Shaw at Old Trafford.

On the other hand, Arsenal already have a top-quality defensive unit. The 20-year-old might struggle for regular opportunities at the London club. He should look to join a club where he can play every week.

According to Chelsea Chronicle: “Chelsea’s young defender Jorrel Hato has been offered to Premier League rivals Manchester United and Arsenal through intermediaries for the summer transfer window. Despite being only 20 years old, the Dutch international is highly eager to play in the UEFA Champions League next season.”
