Liverpool have confirmed they have signed Rennes defender Jeremy Jacquet for £60million. The 20-year-old completed his medical with the champions on Deadline Day and will move to Anfield on July 1. Jacquet is understood to have agreed a five-year contract with the option for a further year. Jacquet was subject of longstanding and significant interest from Chelsea and other major European clubs due to his status as an outstanding central defensive prospect. As a result, the ensuing transfer negotiations for Jacquet were overseen and successfully concluded by sporting director Richard Hughes.
