To add to that, Berta completed the signing of six new players before the start of August, which is something that Edu Gaspar<\/a> never did. <\/p>\n Now, however, the Italian could be about to repeat a mistake that Edu made around 12 months ago.<\/p>\n Arsenal have identified Jeremy Jacquet as a target<\/a> this summer. <\/p>\n The 20-year-old is one of the most talented young defenders in France, and many in the game feel he has a massive future ahead of him.<\/p>\n BBC Sport<\/a> have claimed that Arsenal have not ruled out signing Jacquet in this window, but if they can\u2019t, they will continue to keep tabs on him and aim to get him in 2026.<\/p>\n That could prove to be a big mistake, as Edu did the same with Joan Garcia<\/a> last year after Arsenal could not agree a deal with Espanyol for the Spaniard. <\/p>\n \ud83d\udea8\ud83d\udd34\u26aa\ufe0f EXCLUSIVE: Arsenal submit \u20ac20m package bid for Joan Garc\u00eda as new GK to replace Ramsdale.<\/p>\n Agents Juanma L\u00f3pez and Andy Bara bring the proposal to Espanyol worth \u20ac20m add-ons included.<\/p>\n Espanyol ask for \u20ac30m clause.<\/p>\n Joan Garc\u00eda agreed terms with #AFC<\/a> and wants Arsenal. pic.twitter.com\/h5EqE6KmaG<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Fabrizio Romano (@FabrizioRomano) August 29, 2024<\/a> <\/p>\n View Tweet<\/p>\n Arsenal remained interested in Garcia at the start of this window, but the 12-month delay opened the door for Barcelona to sign him. <\/p>\n The Gunners missed out on Garcia, who has been hailed as \u2018one of the best goalkeepers in the world<\/a>\u2018, just because Edu did not pull the trigger last year.<\/p>\n Berta should learn from that mistake and make sure he signs Jacquet in this window, even if it means loaning him out immediately for another season.<\/p>\n READ MORE: Who is Jeremy Jacquet? Everything you need to know about the new Arsenal transfer target<\/a><\/p>\n Arsenal should repeat William Saliba plan if they sign Jeremy Jacquet<\/p>\n Arsenal signed William Saliba<\/a> from Saint-Etienne in the summer of 2019, when he was still a teenager.<\/p>\n The Gunners immediately loaned the Frenchman back to his old club for a season, and he was then sent out to Nice and Marseille on temporary deals as well.<\/p>\n Those moves helped Saliba become ready for the Premier League<\/a>, and he has now developed into one of the best defenders in the world. <\/p>\n Arsenal don\u2019t really need a new centre-back right now, but that doesn\u2019t mean they should ignore a massive talent like Jacquet. <\/p>\n They should sign the youngster, send him out on loan to develop and then look to integrate him into the Arsenal<\/a> squad in a year or two. <\/p>\n ![\"Andrea](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/GettyImages-2212609344-1024x683.jpg\")
