PSG scouts had previously assessed highly-rated defender Jeremy Jacquet but had reservations about his technical readiness as a teenager. A former PSG scout told La Parisien: "PSG hesitated between him and Sékou Doucouré, whose profile was more in line with the club's vision for the future. Jacquet had talent, but he seemed less technically ready."
That decision now looks costly as Liverpool has agreed a £60 million deal for the 6'4" French center back, who has developed into one of Europe's most promising defenders with exceptional aerial ability. Jacquet is expected to join Liverpool after completing rehabilitation from shoulder surgery.
