Jacquet set to be fit for pre-season

[Getty Images] Liverpool have officially confirmed the signing of Jeremy Jacquet from Rennes, with the centre-back expected to be available for the start of pre-season training. A five-year deal was agreed in January for the France U21 international for £55m with add ons of up to £5m. Jacquet, 20, suffered a shoulder injury shortly after the agreement but has successfully completed a rehabilitation programme and is now doing individual fitness work, with a view to joining Andoni Iraola's group when Liverpool players return on 14 July, before travelling to America on 20 July for a pre-season tour. "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," said Jacquet. "For me it's a big dream, it's a big club. A club like Liverpool, it's a big dream for me." Jacquet will join Virgil van Dijk, Joe Gomez and Geovanni Leoni as Liverpool's centre-half options, after Ibrahima Konate left the club, on expiry of his contract, to join Real Madrid Leoni's debut at Anfield was ruined by an ACL injury that saw him miss the rest of the campaign. The 19-year-old Italian is currently continuing his fitness and rehabilitation work.
