French defender Jeremy Jacquet has joined Liverpool for £60 million after PSG passed on the highly-rated center back during his teenage years. The 6'4" France youth international emerged as one of Europe's most promising defenders following strong performances at Rennes, where he developed into a commanding aerial presence.
PSG previously had reservations about Jacquet's technical readiness when he was younger, a former scout revealed, as they hesitated between him and Sékou Doucouré. Liverpool's interest accelerated as Jacquet matured physically and tactically, making him a natural fit for Arne Slot's system which emphasizes defenders who can carry the ball confidently and distribute under pressure.
