Liverpool have found perfect Jacquet weather after Chelsea hijack and painful U-turn

Liverpool's 21-year-old defender Jeremy Jacquet has made an exceptional start to his Premier League career after joining the club from Rennes. Initially signed to learn under Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate, Jacquet was thrust into the starting lineup following Konate's summer departure. The young French defender has helped Liverpool maintain an unbeaten start to the season, earning a man-of-the-match performance against Bournemouth.

Jacquet's impressive form has also earned him his first international call-up for France under manager Zinedine Zidane. Liverpool reportedly hijacked Chelsea's previous attempt to sign the defender before securing his transfer. Captain Virgil van Dijk praised the new centre-half partnership, noting their strong start while emphasizing that it remains a work in progress.
