Jeremy Jacquet is relishing his early partnership with Virgil van Dijk at centre-back as Liverpool remain unbeaten under Andoni Iraola. The £55m summer signing from Stade Rennes has earned rave reviews at Anfield, helping the Reds keep clean sheets in their last three Premier League matches.
The 21-year-old was handed his senior debut for France by Zinedine Zidane during the international break, starting consecutive games as the French won 1–0 against Belgium and drew 0–0 with Italy. “Playing with him is fantastic,” Jacquet told Telefoot of his experience alongside van Dijk. “There are few defenders who have reached his level.”
Jacquet reflected on his journey to Anfield, describing years of injury troubles with back and knee problems before his move. “I’m trying to look straight ahead,” he said. “So now, I’m happy. I play for my nation, my country, and under the guidance of Zinedine Zidane.” The defender added that life at Liverpool is progressing rapidly. “It’s all happening very quickly too. We have a good group, so everything is going well.”
