The Ivorian gem who has set the transfer market alight

Rennes are close to finalising a major coup in the transfer market after agreeing a €28 million deal to sign highly rated defender Charlie Cresswell from Toulouse. The former England Under-21 European champion has negotiated an exceptional salary package to move to Brittany, following a stellar two-year spell on the banks of the Garonne.

The European football season is almost over. Just one game remains - the Champions League final, as Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain prepare to do battle in Budapest on Saturday. Both sides come into the game having won their own domestic titles, with PSG looking to defend the crown they won for the first time last season, while the Gunners are aiming to secure their first European Cup.

Jeremy Jacquet has admitted that the significant transfer fee Liverpool paid to secure his services from Rennes has naturally brought a level of scrutiny to his young shoulders. The defender, who is set to officially join the Reds this summer, questioned whether he is truly worth the £60 million investment while expressing total confidence in his ability to succeed on Merseyside.
