The young talent who grew up at Ajax's training academy will sign a 7-year contract with the London team.
Hato is a versatile defender, specializing in central defense but can play on the left wing when needed. He is considered a backup solution for Marc Cucurella.
Although only 19 years old, Jorreal Hato has played outstandingly in the Ajax defense, attracting the attention of many other English teams such as Arsenal and Liverpool.
Hato flew to England for a medical before officially joining Chelsea - where he wants to develop his career.
Hato's arrival takes Chelsea's total spending this summer past £200m and they are still in talks to sign RB Leipzig's Xavi Simons.
In another development, The Blues' leadership is looking for a transfer outlet for the defender duo Ben Chilwell and Axel Disasi who are no longer in coach Maresca's plans.
Carney Chukwuemeka could also join RB Leipzig in a separate deal with Xavi Simons.
