Jeremy Jacquet

[JockStrap]

Personal terms have been agreed with Liverpool and the defender is set to join on a 5 and a half year contract until June 2031, with the option to extend for another 12 months. Medical done and he will join LFC in the summer.

Jacquet broke through into the Rennes first team at the tail end of last season and has played 18 of their 20 matches in Ligue 1 this campaign. The 20-year-old has made five appearances for France Under-21s, but is yet to earn a cap for the senior side.

We're definitely loading up on youth. A 20 year old centre back for the future to eventually play along with Leoni. If those two step up we could have the CB position locked down for the next 5-10 years.

Bit of a risk being so young, in the french league and not much experience, but hopefully we've got it right with this one, you don't pay that money for nothing... a position we really need also in the next year or 2.... so glad to get some business done early for next season and not leaving it all to be done in the summer.

Wide attacker next? (perfect if whoever could play on the left and right) CDM next or elsewhere? surely we'll get someone in attack, maybe do the same in the summer as Jacquet - VVD.... but salah- new attacker.

Also if konate goes, do we bring another CB in? or go with VVD jacquet Leoni Gomez?.... i really hope konate stays, gives Jacquet time to settle in get use to the team ,learn off VVD and ease him in and share games, I don't think personally he should go straight into the starting 11, but yeah- also konate being french will help.

Apparently he's got it all, strength, speed, a bit of a beast, very dominant in the air. Of course what he hasn't got is loads of experience, and in particular experience of the premier league. But I am very optimistic.

The ideal scenario for next season would be VvD, Konate, Leoni and Jacquet. That way we get to keep experience around and bed in the young players when they are ready. Unfortunately I think Konate is gone. If he was going to stay the contract would have been signed by now. Which would leave us short at CB. So I'd bring another one in.

Shame but you're probably right , maybe a more experienced CB I'd imagine... a lot more to do, but it's a start already 6 months early.
