Arsenal's 7th new recruit revealed

Despite a summer of intense shopping, Arsenal show no signs of stopping in negotiations to sign young centre-back Jeremy Jacquet from Rennes.

Arsenal confident of successfully recruiting Jacquet.

In the summer of 2025, Arsenal completed 6 new players including Kepa Arrizabalaga, Christian Norgaard, Martin Zubimendi, Noni Madueke, Viktor Gyokeres and Cristhian Mosquera. However, coach Mikel Arteta still wants to strengthen the defense.

The Gunners are planning to sign Jacquet ahead of the potential departure of several defenders. Jakub Kiwior is looking for regular playing time and will leave the Emirates. Arsenal are also listening to offers for Oleksandr Zinchenko.

According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Arsenal have contacted Rennes to open negotiations. The price of 20-year-old centre-back Jacquet is around 20 million euros.

Despite only making 12 appearances in the French league for Rennes, Jacquet is considered one of the most promising talents in French football. Standing at 1.90m tall, he is a mainstay of the national youth teams and was included in the best squad of the European Under-19 Championship last year.

Jacquet spent the first half of last season on loan at Clermont in Ligue 2 before being recalled by Rennes in January and quickly proving his worth. Jacquet can play both at centre-back and right-back.

Arsenal pursued Jacquet with the ambition of building a competitive squad that can compete for many years to come.
