Chelsea are reportedly ready to submit a bid for Rennes centre back Jérémy Jacquet after moving the 20-year-old to the top of their three-man target list.
Having dismissed former manager Enzo Maresca’s public plea for a new defender during the summer—a subject which kick-started the tensions that led to his exit—Chelsea are now prepared to pursue a centre back in the January window for new boss Liam Rosenior.
