Arsenal in talks with Rennes Fc over Jeremy Jacquet transfer move

<p>Following a subdued start to the summer transfer window, Arsenal have strengthened Mikel Arteta’s squad with six key signings.</p>



<p>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.</p>



<p>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.</p>



<p>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.</p>



<p>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.</p>



<p>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.</p>



<p>Arteta has his eyes on defensive reinforcements as his 2023 signing Jakub Kiwior continues to be linked with a move away from the club.</p>



<p>It was reported over the weekend that ‘several clubs’ were keen to sign Kiwior, who made 30 appearances for the Gunners last season.</p>
