In an interview, former Chelsea defender William Gala talked about Harto. Gala believes that Harto is a little small in size and will get more time on the full-back.

This summer window, Chelsea signed 19-year-old defender Harto, who is 1.82 meters tall, from Ajax, and he has played for Chelsea. Speaking of Harto, Gala said: "I think when other events are fully launched, Harto will get more opportunities. I don't think he can play against strong teams in the Champions League, but he should get some opportunities in the League Cup, the FA Cup and in the Premier League against weak teams."

"I think this will be a chance for Harto to show everyone his strength, because as a defender, especially at this age, it's not easy, especially when playing alongside older players. There are still many new players in the team to adapt, and of course, everyone will Try to help him, but ultimately it depends on whether he can show his strength. "

"I am sure he has a good personality, which means he is not afraid of challenges, but there is a possible problem that he is a little small in the center back, so maybe he will get more time on the full-back. The Premier League requirements are different from the Netherlands, so let's see where he will play. He has played left back many times, and maybe Maresca will let him provide rotation for this position, he can be a substitute for Cucurella and a left-center in the three-back system. "
