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 moves to Anfield after advancing through the youth ranks at Rennes to make 33 senior appearances. Twenty-one of those 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.

Jacquet expressed joy after joining Liverpool and said that it is a dream-come-true moment for the 20-year-old.

Jacquet had earlier displayed his rich potential at the U19 European Championship in Northern Ireland in the summer of 2024. He was a starter for France as they produced a run to the final and finished runners-up to Spain, including a winning goal from the penalty spot in the group stage. Jacquet was named in the official Team of the Tournament.
