LONDON, Feb 3, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - Liverpool were set to win the race to sign Rennes defender Jeremy Jacquet on a quiet final day of the Premier League transfer window, while Crystal Palace swooped for Wolves striker Jorgen Strand Larsen despite the collapse of Jean-Philippe Mateta's move to AC Milan. The Reds reportedly agreed a fee of up to œ60 million ($82 million) for the highly-rated Jacquet before the window closed at 1900 GMT. But the 20-year-old will not join the Premier League champions until the summer despite Liverpool's need for defensive reinforcements. The France striker was left out of Palace's squad for their Premier League draw at Nottingham Forest on Sunday, in anticipation of a transfer to AC Milan. Mateta's proposed switch to Serie A fell through on Monday after medical concerns over a knee injury, but Palace still brought in Strand Larsen.
