Arne Slot has spoken for the first time on Jeremy Jacquet, who will join the Reds ahead of next season 🗣️ — Liverpool FC (@LFC) February 5, 2026“Very pleasing, of course,” Slot said of 20-year-old Jacquet’s deal. “He’s a very big talent and maybe even more than a talent, but we speak about talent because of his age. With Van Dijk due to turn 35 in the summer, the club are looking to put in place the pieces for a new-look defence going forward. Virgil van Dijk will turn 35 in the summer (Peter Byrne/PA). This club is not only thinking short-term future, but also the mid to long-term future.”
