The Premier League: English football club Liverpool has completed the signing of French defender Jeremy Jacquet from Stade Rennais in Ligue 1, following the agreement of a deal to sign him earlier this year.
Jacquet moved to Anfield after advancing through the youth ranks at Rennes to make 33 senior appearances. Of those, 21 came during the past 2025-26 campaign, which was cut short for the centre-back due to a shoulder injury sustained in February.
The Premier League club reached an agreement for the 20-year-old in January, and he has now signed a five-year contract at Anfield with the option of a further 12 months, subject to international clearance.
The defender is expected to be available from the start of pre-season after missing the end of his last campaign in France with a shoulder injury sustained in February.
Jacquet expressed joy after joining Liverpool and said that it is a dream-come-true moment for the 20-year-old.
“I am very happy. When I see the facilities, I can see myself there. I feel good here, and I am very excited to get started. For me, it’s a big dream; it’s a big club. A club like Liverpool- it’s a big dream for me,” he said as quoted by the Liverpool official website.
