Reports have claimed that young defender Jeremy Jacquet has informed Rennes he would like to join Chelsea this winter, talkSPORT understands.
Frequent changes to the back four — with different centre-back combinations in most games — have prevented the defence from building cohesion and understanding. Stability at centre-back is crucial in the Premier League; without it Chelsea have conceded goals from set-pieces, breakdowns in structure and transitional moments where the team loses its shape.
Injuries have played a significant role in ***CHELSEA***’s defensive woes, but Even when fit, the squad has been juggling fitness issues and rotation, often forcing less experienced players into high-pressure roles without consistent partners.
That has led to many reports in the media over the past few days about players that CHELSEA are looking to sign, with Rennes star Jacquet the player that Chelsea are interested in signing.
Now – According to talkSPORT sources, Rennes hadn’t planned to sell Jacquet this month, who has a contract that runs until 2029, but the young man has reportedly told the club that he wants to make the move to London
The Ligue 1 side are hoping for a record fee – surpassing the €64m [around £55m] Manchester City handed over for Jermey Doku in the summer of 2023, but the Blues are only keen to spend around £45 million for the defender.

I have said it before and i will say it again, the lad is talented but not what we need right now. We should spend this money on getting someone that is already proven at the highest level.
We need a Thiago Silva type signing to improve that back-line and help the young lads develop.
