With Liverpool on course to win the Premier League title and being in contention to win other pieces of silverware this season, the prospect of creating a dynasty should be at the forefront of their minds.

Arsenal and Manchester City are miles off this Liverpool side, who are 11 points clear at the summit of the league table and arguably the standout team in Europe.

However, for Arne Slot to potentially continue dominating English football, the Reds must back him in the summer transfer window.

While Liverpool have one of the best squads at their disposal across Europe, no roster of players can be considered flawless.

In central defence, for instance, apart from Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate, it could be argued that the Reds lack another world-class player.

But the good news is that Liverpool are interested in signing a big-name centre-back before the start of the 2025/2026 season.

Liverpool set to scout Jorrel Hato three times amid serious interest

Now, reputed journalist Fabrizio Romano has revealed that Liverpool are set to scout Ajax defender Jorrel Hato another two or three times before making a move for him.

Earlier this month, TBR Football also exclusively revealed that Chelsea have scouted Hato with a view to potentially sign him in the summer.

On Liverpool’s interest in Hato, Fabrizio Romano said on his official YouTube channel: “Liverpool love to invest in young players, this will be the view now under Arne Slot as a coach and we can say that not [Dean] Huijsen but Hato is being monitored by Liverpool. What I’m told is Liverpool are already planning with their scouting department for at least two or three more missions in the Netherlands to follow Jorrell Hato closely and his progress and to understand what they want to do with this player.”

“They’ve been scouting this player for a long time and they’ve been following this boy for a long time and they keep following his progress so Hato is for sure one of the players being watched by Liverpool.”

Hato, who idolises Jurrien Timber is just 18 years old and capable of playing as a centre-back and a left-back.

Liverpool are looking to replace Andy Robertson and the Dutchman is well-capable of playing as a full-back in Arne Slot’s system.

This season alone, Hato, valued at £40-45 million million has made 36 out of his 37 appearances as a left-back.

As a result, the teenager is not expected to look like a fish out of water if tasked to play in the same role by Arne Slot.

Hato confirmed being at Anfield for Liverpool vs Ipswich

Notably, Hato was spotted watching Liverpool’s 4-1 win against Ipswich Town at Anfield last month.

Speaking to De Telegraaf, the versatile defender confirmed that Ryan Gravenberch invited him to watch the Merseyside-based club in action.

Hato initially addressed the transfer rumours linking him to move to Liverpool, saying: “I read it all.”

“But I also know that not everything was right. For my development, it’s best that I stay at Ajax now. I was invited by Ryan Gravenberch.”

“But I didn’t speak to a director there. Liverpool played well and the atmosphere in the stadium was good, but there is no more to say.”

Whether Hato’s visit to Anfield made enough of an impression on him to sign for Liverpool will be a question on Reds supporters’ minds.
