Following a subdued start to the summer transfer window, Arsenal have strengthened Mikel Arteta’s squad with six key signings.
The likes of Viktor Gyokeres, Martin Zubimendi and Noni Madueke have all arrived at the Emirates Stadium to strengthen a squad that has finished second in the Premier League for the past three seasons.
Despite the heavy investment so far this summer, Arsenal are interested in further deals before the summer transfer deadline, most notably looking to sign Eberechi Eze from Crystal Palace.
Arsenal have also expressed interest in signing a new defender and have made contact with French club Rennes over a deal according to Fabrizio Romano.
It is claimed the Gunners have made ‘initial contact’ with Rennes, who finished 12th in Ligue 1 last season, to declare their interest in Jacquet.
Arsenal will look to bring Jacquet to north London this month if current defenders move on, but if not they have already indicated they will move for the 20-year-old next summer.
Arteta has his eyes on defensive reinforcements as his 2023 signing Jakub Kiwior continues to be linked with a move away from the club.
It was reported over the weekend that ‘several clubs’ were keen to sign Kiwior, who made 30 appearances for the Gunners last season.
