There’s a chance to see him play today. He’s starting for Rennes in the French cup against Marseille.
Rennes got outclassed 3-0. I saw him get dribbled past for one of the goals. Seemed fairly fast but not a particularly impressive outing from what I saw.

And he's now undergoing surgery for a 'serious' shoulder injury. Sounds like a Liverpool defender already.
F365 with a piece saying that our gazumping Chelsea to get Jacquet is going to cost us the champions league. Not spending on a defender who could immediately play for us and improve us this season is going to cost us points and a CL spot isn't a crazy take - but it may prove to be right...
Not sure how anyone can make the claim that Jacquet will have hit the ground running and immediately improved us. Or that he wouldn't have been played in central midfield
Nobody is saying that. But allowing ourselves to move for a player we can't have for 6 months while other options existed to improve us NOW could cost us the CL places.
It could. But at the same time, if we think he is THAT good, this might have been our best shot at getting him.
However, no U21 player in Europe has won more aerial duels than Jacquet, with soon-to-be Liverpool teammate Giovanni Leoni in second place. €72m signing might need surgery after Reds branded ‘suckers’ for signing him
