Jorell Hato to Chelsea, Giovanni Reyna to Parma — Transfer news, rumors
United States men's national team midfielder Giovanni Reyna and Dutch defender Jorell Hato are being linked with moves to the Premier League and Serie A this week.

Reyna is in dire need of change of scenery following a long fall out of favor at Dortmund, while Hato has propelled up the ranks at Ajax and could be set for a new, bigger challenge.
Jorrel Hato from Ajax to Chelsea
Ajax defender Jorrel Hato has a solid resume for his age and may be adding Premier League player to his CV.
Hato, 19, already has six caps for the Netherlands and has piled up 111 senior appearances for Ajax between left back and center back.
The flank seems his destiny judging by his Dutch career as well as his two goals and six assists in the Eredivisie last season.
Hato's agent is certainly interested in moving this along, via Sky Sports: 'Yes, the club has contacted Ajax. The only thing I can say is that Jorrel is now in talks with Chelsea.'
Hato is an elite passer who is strong in the air, and he fits the profile of a young PL prospect. Marc Cucurella remains the top left back at Chelsea but Hato's versatility makes him perfect for cover at multiple positions as the Blues participate in so many competitions.
USMNT's Giovanni Reyna from Dortmund to Parma
The only thing certain when it comes to Giovanni Reyna is he needs to go somewhere where he'll be made a priority player.
Reyna turns 23 in November and further away from the USMNT picture for next summer's World Cup than anyone would imagined a few years ago.
He played just 12 minutes at the Club World Cup this summer, and has not featured for several Dortmund managers.
Reyna played more than 2,500 minutes as a teenager in Dortmund's 2020-21 season, but injuries cost him much of the next season before the 2021-22 campaign saw him score seven times in a resurgent performance.
Edin Terzig, Nuri Sahin, interim boss Mike Tullberg, and Niko Kovac have all kept Reyna down the depth chart in favor of others, and the USMNT player simply has to find a route to regular playing time.
Reyna has earned just one cap since going to 90 minutes for the USMNT in the final match of the 2024 Copa America — a 21-minute sub's run against Canada in the Nations League third place game.
Parma survived Serie A relegation by two points and new boss Carlos Cuesta, the 29-year-old former Arsenal assistant, is seeking to make a name for himself and some stars in the process. Given Reyna's acumen, this could be as good — and relatively low-profile — as spot as any to jumpstart a once-shimmering career.

Mitchell Owen's T20 hitting earns him a spot in Australia's one-day cricket squad
BRISBANE, Australia (AP) — Big-hitting allrounder Mitchell Owen is set to play one-day cricket for Australia after making an impressive international debut in the Twenty20 series sweep in the West Indies. The 23-year-old Owen was included Wednesday in both white ball squads for next month's Top End series against South Africa. A star opener for Hobart Hurricanes in the Big Bash domestic T20 competition, he scored a half-century in his first game for Australia, helping set up a 5-0 series sweep in the Caribbbean. In four games, he averaged 41.66 runs and a strike rate of 192.3, his big-hitting capabilities evident as he struck 12 sixes from the 65 deliveries he faced. 'As we build toward the T20 World Cup the flexibility and depth shown in the West Indies, outside of the obvious results, has been a huge positive,' Cricket Australia's chief selector George Bailey said. "Mitch Owen and Matt Kuhnemann making their respective debuts and the preparation and work done by Nathan Ellis to allow him to play all five matches were highlights. Travis Head and fast bowler Josh Hazlewood return to the ODI and T20 squads after being rested for the white ball section of the Caribbean tour following Australia's 3-0 test series win. 'The smaller squad for a home series, along with the return of Travis Head and Josh Hazlewood, see some players not part of the squad for this Top End series," Bailey said, "but all remain in the frame moving forward.' The T20 against the Proteas will be held in Darwin and Cairns on Aug. 10, 12 and 16, followed by ODIs in Cairns and Mackay in northern Queensland state on Aug. 19, 22 and 24. ___ Australia squads: T20: Mitchell Marsh (captain), Sean Abbott, Tim David, Ben Dwarshuis, Nathan Ellis, Cameron Green, Josh Hazlewood, Travis Head, Josh Inglis, Matt Kuhnemann, Glenn Maxwell, Mitchell Owen, Matthew Short, Adam Zampa. ____
