Arsenal face competition from Premier League and Bundesliga sides in Jérémy Jacquet pursuit | OneFootball

Jérémy Jacquet (20) may be highly sought after between now and the end of the transfer window. Fabrizio Romano revealed interest from Premier League giants Arsenal, however, L’Équipe understands that they aren’t the only interested party.

Jacquet has enjoyed a steep rise in recent months. This time last year, he was embarking on a loan at Ligue 2 side Clermont Foot. However, his performances in the second division, coupled with Stade Rennais’ defensive frailties, saw the centre-back recalled by his parent club in January, for a fee.

He then went on to establish himself as a starter under new manager Habib Beye in the second half of the season as Rennes dragged themselves out of relegation trouble. His performances were rewarded with a new deal, which now runs until the summer of 2029.

Arsenal are interested, as confirmed by L’Équipe. There is also interest from other unnamed clubs in the Premier League and the Bundesliga. No concrete approaches have yet been made for the France U21 international. However, clubs could make their move in the second half of August.
