Jeremy Jacquet makes Arsenal transfer decision

Rennes defender Jeremy Jacquet has declined the opportunity to join Arsenal during the ongoing transfer window.

The Gunners recently signed Cristhian Mosquera as a replacement for Takehiro Tomiyasu, who left on a free.

The club are open to pursuing another centre-back based on what happens with Jakub Kiwior in the coming days.

Arsenal have already turned down a loan deal with an obligation to buy and there could be more proposals on the table.

The Gunners have identified Jacquet as a potential successor if Kiwior leaves, but the youngster is not keen on the move.

The 20-year-old only recently signed a long-term contract with his boyhood club, having helped them avoid relegation.

He is committed to develop with regular playing time and has no plans of playing a backup role for the coming season.

Hence, Arsenal are unlikely to land his signature, but they will continue to track his progress ahead of a future transfer.
