Liverpool agree £60m deal for defender Jacquet

Liverpool have agreed a £60m deal for Rennes defender Jeremy Jacquet - but the centre-half will not be joining the club in the current transfer window.

Subject to a medical, the 20-year-old will move to the Reds in the summer after the clubs reached agreement on a £55m fee plus £5m in add-ons.

Personal terms are not expected to be an issue with the France Under-21 international.

Chelsea are known to have held talks with Jacquet during the winter window, but it remains to be seen whether they will try to match Liverpool's bid.
