Arsenal are eyeing a move for highly-rated Rennes defender, Jeremy Jacquet.
The Gunners want to reach an agreement for Jacquet, in case either Jakub Kiwior or Oleksandr Zinchenko leaves.
However, Arsenal are willing to sign the young defender and loan him back to the French club for one year.
This was revealed by football transfer, Fabrizio Romano, on Sunday night.
Jacquet only signed a new contract with Rennes in May this year.
