“It's a big dream”: Liverpool confirm £55m signing of Rennes defender Jeremy Jacquet | OneFootball

Jeremy Jacquet has called his transfer to Liverpool a 'big dream' after completing his move to the club.

Liverpool agreed a deal to sign Jacquet from Rennes earlier his year for a fee in the region of £55m.

The centre-back's transfer has now officially been confirmed and he will link up with Andoni Iraola's squad for their pre-season schedule.

The 20-year-old enjoyed a breakthrough campaign in Ligue 1 last season, before a serious shoulder injury prematurely curtailed his campaign.

Jacquet will add to Liverpool's centre-back options, following the departure of Ibrahima Konate to Real Madrid on a free transfer.

The Frenchman said he already feels settled at Liverpool and called the challenge of moving to the Reds a 'dream' come true.

He toldLiverpoolfc.com: “I feel really good, the first impressions are good and I am very happy to start here.

“I am very happy. When I see the facilities, I can see myself there. I feel good here and I am very excited to get started.

“For me it’s a big dream, it’s a big club. A club like Liverpool, it’s a big dream for me.”

Jacquet has become Liverpool's second signing of the summer,following a €40m deal for Osasuna winger Victor Munoz.
