"Chelsea are in active talks since start of the week to get new centre back in January, important immediate addition. Jeremy Jacquet has been on shortlist since July and remains one of the three names on #CFC list for January. Decision on new CB, soon. Chelsea rival Arsenal for Jeremy Jacquet transfer Arsenal are big fans of Jacquet as well, as we've previously reported, so it will be interesting to see where the talented 20-year-old ends up moving next."
"It's fair to say that the Gunners' project looks a bit more tempting right now as Mikel Arteta's side look a lot closer to winning major trophies, while Chelsea aren't even looking guaranteed a top four spot this season. Still, Chelsea might also be the better option for Jacquet at this stage of his career as he'll want to be playing regular first-team football. The Blues have shown their commitment to trusting and developing youngsters,"
Chelsea are in active talks since the start of the week to sign a new centre-back in January, with Jeremy Jacquet among three main targets. Jacquet has been on Chelsea's shortlist since July and remains under consideration as the club seeks an immediate defensive addition. Arsenal are also strong admirers of Jacquet, placing the 20-year-old Rennes defender in demand. Arsenal's project offers closer proximity to trophies, while Chelsea can offer more immediate first-team opportunities and a track record of developing young players. A decision on the new centre-back is expected soon, though priorities between targets remain unclear.
