Arne Slot, the Dutch head coach, is surprised as he names two more top teams joining Liverpool in the pursuit of their target player from France's Ligue 1.
On 12 Jan 2026 GMT+7, Arne Slot, the Dutch manager, was taken aback by the off-field challenge when he named two more prominent teams joining the Reds, Liverpool, the Premier League giants, in chasing their target player currently playing in France's Ligue 1.
The target player Liverpool is interested in is Jeremy Chaget, a promising young French defender from Rennes. They hope to bring him in as a key asset for the future as Virgil van Dijk ages, while Ibrahima Konaté is reportedly linked with a potential exit.
The two main rivals joining the chase are Chelsea, the Blues, and Arsenal, the Gunners—both London-based Premier League clubs also eager to strengthen their defense by signing Jeremy Chaget, according to reports from Football Insider.
