Liverpool reportedly intends to sign a 20-year-old star and connect with Arsenal

Liverpool is linked to Arsenal's target signing Jeremy Yakai. The French centre-back has made his mark in recent years at the Grand Stadium of Renne and has attracted the interest of several clubs.

Although Arsenal signed Christian Moscra from Valencia this summer, he was linked with Yakai. According to TBR Football, they viewed the young man as a long-time successor to his fellow countryman William Saliba. In fact, Saliba and Yakai are both from Bondi in Paris. The Gunners signed Sariba from Saint-Etienne in 2019, but he has been loaned to several French clubs before moving to the UAE in 2022. They can also look for similar settings in Jacques. Liverpool are also interested in the 20-year-old centre-back and may loan him back to Rennes this year.

Yake comes from Rennes' youth training camp and makes 12 appearances for them. From January 2024 to January 2025, he was loaned to Clermont Ford and made 25 appearances for them. He is known for his calm ball control and aggressive defense.

In addition to Arsenal and Liverpool, Newcastle is also interested in signing the young central defender.

Look at what Arsenal and Liverpool targets Jeremy Jaque's coach said in 2023 His former reserve coach Pierre Emmanuel Burdo has spoken about Arsenal and Liverpool's targets Jeremy Jaque in 2023. He praised the young player, calling him a "complete player".

Buldo said (via TBR Football):

"Nevertheless, we know he's a guy with great potential. His physical condition this season has disappointed him a little. He can tie the game and the game together. "He is a guy who has made great progress in the N2 Championship, especially in terms of maturity. He lacks a little reliability, but now he has a real defensive spirit and has the ability to play well on the rebounds. He is a full-scale player and he still has a lot of room for improvement. ”

In May this year, Jacques signed a new contract with Rennes, which will expire in 2029.

Arsenal has left Fukang Wuhong's defense this summer, and Kiville and Zinchenko may also leave. Meanwhile, Liverpool's Matipu also retired last year. Ibrahim Connate's contract expires next year, and he is linked to clubs such as Real Madrid.

Newcastle United are also looking to strengthen their defense, but unlike these two clubs, they are looking for a mature option.
