Chelsea are weighing up another centre-back recall as they continue their pursuit of Rennes defender Jeremy Jacquet.
With Liam Rosenior now working at Stamford Bridge, the club have drawn up fresh plans to strengthen the heart of their defence. One option being considered is bringing back a loaned-out centre-back, as Chelsea look for cover and competition in that area.
At the same time, Chelsea’s interest in Jacquet remains active. The Rennes defender is viewed as a potential addition, and Chelsea are continuing to explore a deal as part of their wider defensive planning.
The situation underlines the club’s two-track approach: using an internal solution via a recall while also pushing on the recruitment side for Jacquet. No final decision has been confirmed yet, but Chelsea are assessing what gives them the quickest and most reliable fix at centre-back for the months ahead.
