Stade Rennais

Arsenal’s Andrea Berta is holding exploratory talks with a number of potential signings ahead of the January transfer window, with the Gunners continuing to follow Rennes’ Jeremy Jacquet.

Arsenal’s interest in Rennes defender Jeremy Jacquet pre-dates the signing of Cristhian Mosquera, but it’s set to persist even if they can’t sign him this summer.

Jeremy Jacquet turned down an approach from Arsenal at the start of the transfer window, according to a report from France.

Arsenal have made contact with Stade Rennais and Desire Doue’s camp over a potential transfer, but they’re one of many in the race.

Arsenal have joined the race to sign 18-year-old Stade Rennais midfielder Desire Doue, according to a report.
