First Dutch Chelsea player praises Hato: 'He's great to watch'

Jorrel Hato enjoyed a difficult start at Chelsea, but achieved a wide finish at The Blues. Currently, he is participating in the World Cup with the Netherlands and is receiving praise from Ken Monkou, the first Dutch player to play for Chelsea. Monkou made his debut at Feyenoord in 1985 and played 43 matches over three seasons. After being transferred to Chelsea, he played three seasons in London, which then became the European Mumbai Regime. In 94 matches, he scored two goals. Monkou later played for Southampton and Huddersfield Town. Hato is a Dutch player currently at Chelsea. Monkou raves about the young defender, 'He was captain at Ajax, which says a lot,' he tells The Blues' club website. 'He's a great player and it's great to see a Dutch defender back at Chelsea.' 'He is not only a good player but also a good person,' added Monkou. 'I hope he continues here for many years and is a team leader.' Hato is currently in the United States with the Netherlands team. In a friendly match against Algeria (0-1), he played 45 minutes. Later, he was benched throughout against Uzbekistan, Japan and Sweden.
