I never said that!” It was the first time I’d seen my name linked to social media like that… But anyway, it means clubs are interested in you. Jacquet has played up to Under-21 level for France (Picture: Getty Images) ‘I won’t say it happened quickly, because I took my time with this big step.

But I quickly saw myself at Liverpool. I’d been talking with them for a long time.’ Asked if Manchester United were one of the clubs interested in him, he said: ‘For example, but also other clubs that haven’t been mentioned.

I spoke with the management; the club’s history weighed heavily on my decision, but so did the project they offered me,’ he explained. ‘At Chelsea, I felt there were quite a lot of [other] people. Training with guys like that, it doesn’t get any better than that.’ To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video On Jacquet’s signing in February, Reds boss Arne Slot said: ‘Very pleasing, of course, because first of all he is a very big talent – and maybe even more than “only” a talent, but we speak about talent because of his age, of course. ‘Second of all because we weren’t the only one interested in him, so another big compliment for the people that are working every single day so hard to sign players, that we were able to sign such a big talent. ‘And [it is] another example of the model we are using at this club: so, young, very talented players, sometimes in the start of their career, sometimes already a little bit a few years into their career, but always players that are young and can improve us and help us for the short, but definitely also for the long term. ‘We have signed a lot of them recently and I’ve said many times that the mid- to long-term, but even the short-term, future of this club is in a very, very, very good place.’ Arrow MORE: Man Utd make offer for second Brazilian star after agreeing Ederson transfer Arrow MORE: Mikel Arteta urged to replace Arsenal star with ‘quality’ signing after title win Arrow MORE: Joe Cole tells Xabi Alonso to sign England star for Chelsea In The Mixer’s World Cup special Get previews of every single team at the World Cup sent directly to your inbox, featuring the players to look out for, games you shouldn’t miss and Metro’s big England predictions.
