"Chelsea are ready to rival the likes of Arsenal and Manchester United for the potential transfer of Rennes centre-back Jeremy Jacquet. As reported via the Daily Briefing, I've been told that the Blues have added Jacquet to their list of targets as they look for a new defensive signing this January. The highly-rated young Frenchman is also understood to be on the radar of Arsenal, while Manchester United have also monitored him."
"Chelsea are pretty reliable when it comes to giving opportunities to young players, so that might make Stamford Bridge pretty appealing. At the same time, the Chelsea project has appeared a bit all over the place in recent times due to frequent managerial changes, though Liam Rosenior knows Jacquet well from his time in Ligue 1. United, meanwhile, should be able to give Jacquet a key role as well,"
Chelsea, Arsenal and Manchester United are tracking Rennes centre-back Jeremy Jacquet ahead of a potential January move. Rennes could sell Jacquet for around £30m, making the transfer appealing to bigger clubs. Arsenal are the most competitive option, leading the Premier League, but playing time could be limited behind William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhaes. Chelsea are known for giving chances to young players and Liam Rosenior has Ligue 1 knowledge of Jacquet, though Chelsea have had frequent managerial changes. Manchester United could offer a key role, but the club’s managerial instability and uncertain summer situation complicate that option. Jacquet would face a choice if simultaneous offers arrive.
