Jacquet faces 'big ask' at Liverpool

[Getty Images] Liverpool's latest signing Jeremy Jacquet is likely to be Ibrahima Konate's successor, says author and Liverpool fan Adam Beattie. The 20-year-old completed his £60m move to Anfield on Wednesday and with Konate now at Real Madrid, there is a bit of pressure on the Frenchman's shoulders. "Jacquet signing takes on a bit of a new meaning now," Beattie told BBC Radio Merseyside. "He comes in, potentially depending on what else we do in the transfer market, as the Konate successor, which is a big ask for someone of his age and someone who's had the injury problems that he's had. "He's obviously an exciting talent and it's a lot of money for someone who's not played a great deal of professional football yet but that's also quite exciting. He looks enormous which is always good and it's exactly what we need, but I'd personally go and get another centre-back if possible." BBC Radio Merseyside also discussed a potential move for Paris St-Germain's Bradley Barcola and likely midfield outgoings, as Beattie hopes Curtis Jones remains a Red.
