Chelsea need to act swiftly to sign French wonderkid as sources reveal Real Madrid competition

Chelsea will have to act fast if they are to sign Jeremy Jacquet from Rennes, with sources telling TEAMtalk that Liverpool, Arsenal, Real Madrid and Manchester United are all keen on the defender.

Enzo Maresca had been keen to strengthen Chelsea’s centre-back options before his departure as the Blues’ manager on New Year’s Day, and sources have confirmed that the club have been monitoring one of the most highly rated young defenders in European football.

Maresca had raised concerns internally about Chelsea’s central defensive depth and was pessimistic about the chances of addressing the issue during the January transfer window.

While that may yet remain the case, sources have told us that Chelsea have carried out extensive checks on Rennes centre-back Jeremy 

Scouting has been ongoing throughout the season, and there is a growing sense that a decision may soon be made
