"Chelsea have reportedly reached an agreement with Jeremy Jacquet on the terms of his contract, with the Rennes defender possibly set to cost 70m. That's according to a report from French outlet Foot Mercato, who report that the Blues are making some progress in their pursuit of Jacquet. Chelsea have agreed terms with the player, and now just need to strike a deal with his club, who aim to make the French centre-back their club-record sale at around 70m."
"Jacquet looks like he ticks all the right boxes for Chelsea as he's a big prospect who fits their current recruitment strategy, whilst also looking like someone who could make an impact straight away. The west Londoners have had some defensive troubles this season, with Levi Colwill out injured for much of the campaign and the likes of Trevoh Chalobah and Tosin Adarabioyo looking a little below-par."
Chelsea have agreed terms with Jeremy Jacquet but must still reach a transfer fee agreement with Rennes, who aim for a club-record sale near €70m. Chelsea have offered around €50m so far, leaving room for negotiation. The 20-year-old centre-back is seen as a high-potential signing who fits Chelsea's recruitment strategy and could contribute immediately. Chelsea have had defensive problems this season with Levi Colwill out injured and Trevoh Chalobah and Tosin Adarabioyo underperforming. Recent poor results, including a 3-2 home defeat to Arsenal and only one win in seven matches, increase the urgency to strengthen the defence.
