Liverpool have completed the signing of France Under-21 centre-back Jeremy Jacquet from Rennes in a deal worth up to £60million.

The Premier League club reached an agreement for the 20-year-old in January and he has now signed a five-year contract at Anfield with the option of a further 12 months, subject to international clearance.

The defender is expected to be available from the start of pre-season after missing the end of his last campaign in France with a shoulder injury sustained in February.
