Arsenal experienced frustration after Chelsea signed Jorrel Hato from Ajax. Plans for Arsenal to acquire Hato hinged on offloading player Zinchenko, which did not happen. Journalist Graeme Bailey noted that Arsenal had a successful acquisition with Timber but faced disappointment with Hato. There is a sense of missed opportunity as Arsenal recognizes Hato's potential to become a top-class European player. The situation reflects the unpredictable nature of transfer negotiations, illustrating how deals can quickly turn unfavorably for clubs.
"It's just one of those transfer situations that's fallen the wrong way for Arsenal this time around."
"I think Arsenal would have moved for Hato if they managed to offload Zinchenko, and there's definitely a lot of frustration at the Emirates because they know what a talent Hato is."
