Mikel Arteta and Arsenal with the help of new transfer director Andrea Berta have made huge escalations. Being highly active on the market, the Gunners have secured the likes of Noni Madueke, Viktor Gyökeres and Martin Zubimendi already.

In the latest from London, Arsenal have now made initial contact with a 19-year-old Frenchman Jeremy Jacquet. The defensive player is said to be wanted as a Saliba rotation as Cristian Mosquera is the Tomiyasu replacement.

Jeremy Jacquet is a WCB (RB/RCB). Athleticism is kinda similar to Aaron Wan Bissaka. Would be an incredibly difficult guy to get past. Mental profile is top as well: preparedness, fortitude, confidence (similar to MLS).

Liverpool, Madrid and United should be interested.

Arsenal In Contact With Jeremy Jacquet: Romano

Transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano gave major updates on the Jacquet transfer in his latest reports. Arsenal’s initial contact to express interest in Jérémy Jacquet, a promising 19-year-old centre-back from Rennes, aligns with their strategy of scouting young talent with significant potential.

Jacquet’s recent contract extension with Rennes until June 2029 suggests he is a highly valued player. Having impressed after being recalled from a loan at Clermont, his current market value of €10.00m. Moreover, the attention from other European clubs like RB Leipzig might encourage Arsenal to monitor him closely as a strategic option for future squad planning.

Jacquet for Stade Rennais appeared in 11 games in the 2024/25 season, starting all 11 and averaging 84 minutes per game. He has earned 1 Team of the Week selection. Defensively, he has recorded 4 clean sheets, averages 2.5 interceptions, 2.4 tackles, and 3.7 balls recovered, with 3.9 clearances per game.
