by Chelsea believes that the prospective new signing Jorrel Hato can make the strain on Marc Cucurella easier, with the association approving of a GBP 35.5 million GBP on Wednesday evening.
The 19-year-old Hato can play in a number of defense bodies, including central defenders, but but Telegraph sport Chelsea mainly sees as depth and competition among left -back.

Cucurella played more minutes last season than any other Chelsea -Outfield player, including the Club World Championship and made a total of 54 appearances -four more than midfielder Moises Caicedo.
The Spaniard was one of the best and most constant performers of Chelsea, and head coach Enzo Maresca does not want to run the risk of burning down or cucurella who have a serious injury because they had to play too much.
The association acknowledges that Cucurella needs support because it has played, and also the fact that Chelsea will combine the Premier League and Champions League campaigns this season.
While Caicedo, Cole Palmer and Enzo Fernández, who were played the second, third and fourth time in the minutes last season, are all the most important players, Chelsea have in their respective positions to turn them and rest if they wish.

And the signing of HATO is very well done with regard to Cucurella, with the left -back one of the few areas in which Chelsea seed itself as light on numbers and quality.
The fact that Hato can also play on the left side of the Central Defense can also be good news for Levi Colwill, who played fifth on the list of Outfield players last season, but it is Cucurella, which will probably see most of the advantage.
REECE JAMES occasionally filled out as a left -back last season, but Chelsea wants the position with Cucurella and enables him to be rested.
Apart from Hato, Chelsea is working on signing the attacker Xavi Simons from RB Leipzig with Joao Felix to Saudi Arabia.

But Chelsea will not stop this from considering more attackers if, as expected, they sell Christoper Nkunku, who is interested in a series of clubs in the Premier League and overseas.
Chelsea has an interest in the winger of Manchester United Alejandro Garnacho, and the arrival of Simons does not necessarily close the door of a potential deal for the Argentine.
Simons can play centrally as 10 or outside the left, which may leave Garnacho to fight for a left -wing place with Jamie Gitten, should Nkunku Joao Felix from Stamford Bridge follow.
There is also a way that Nicolas Jackson could leave Chelsea this summer. Newcastle United is currently trying to sign Benjamin Sesko, but could look at Jackson if this step goes through.

It is also believed that Jackson Juventus is interested, which is expected to come to the market for a striker if they can move on Dusan Vlahovic.
Despite reports in France, Chelsea are currently not among the clubs that are interested in signing goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma of Paris Saint-Germain.
