BREAKING: Rennes centre-back Jérémy Jacquet rejects Arsenal approach — blow to Gunners’ pursuit of highly rated 20-year-old

Rennes centre-back Jérémy Jacquet has reportedly turned down an approach from Arsenal.
 

Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano reported yesterday that the Gunners had made initial contact with the Ligue 1 side over a potential summer deal for the 20-year-old.

Now, a fresh update has emerged regarding the Frenchman's future.

According to Foot Mercato journalist Santi Aouna, Jacquet has rejected Arsenal's approach.

If true, this development comes as a blow to Arsenal's pursuit, as the highly rated defender had been identified as a possible replacement for Jakub Kiwior — whose future at the Emirates remains uncertain.
