"His physical profile is exceptional. He has a burst of acceleration, agility, pace over longer stretches and a spring in his leap -- he was clocked at a maximum speed of 34.5 km/h against Lille this season by Gradient Sports, while his aerial win rate of 75.5% is exceptional. He is also very comfortable on the ball, always looking to punch passes through defensive lines with speed, and has a nice switch pass to the opposite flank too."
"Born and bred in Paris, Jacquet has been one of the best center backs in the French Ligue 1 this season, since Rennes called him back from a loan spell at Ligue 2 side Clermont Foot a year ago. And he is part of an incredible 2005 generation who came through at Rennes, alongside Desire Doué ( Paris Saint-Germain), Mathys Tel ( Tottenham Hotspur) and Jeanuël Belocian ( Bayer Leverkusen)."
Liverpool have agreed a £55 million (plus £5 million in add-ons) deal to sign 20-year-old defender Jérémy Jacquet in the summer. He is still developing but shows potential to become a complete, dominant centre back. His physical profile includes acceleration, agility, top speed of 34.5 km/h, and a 75.5% aerial win rate. He is comfortable on the ball, can punch passes through defensive lines and switch play. Born in Paris, he emerged at Rennes after a loan at Clermont. He has represented France from U17 upward and is being monitored for senior selection ahead of 2026. He has mainly played in a back three but has experience in a back four.
