Latest Fantasy Rumors
Arsenal keeping close tabs
Arsenal are keeping close tabs on the availability of Hato, according to The Daily Mail.
ANALYSIS
Arsenal could use another defender to bolster their depth, and Hato checks all the boxes. He's young, possesses international experience, has plenty of potential and is able to play more than one position. Ajax are open to his departure, but only for the right price, so it remains to be seen if both teams will end up reaching an agreement or not.
