Image Credits: Imago ImagesJeremy Jacquet is widely regarded as one of the most talented youngsters in the game right now.Already an immense presence at the back for Rennes, Jacquet will link up with Liverpool in the summer after the club struck a £60m deal for him back in February.Jacquet will arrive at a time when Liverpool are in need of some fresh energy in defence, after conceding a record-breaking amount of goals in a 38-game Premier League season with 52 this year.Virgil van Dijk and co. have looked shaky and lacking in confidence on many occasions this season and the arrival of Jacquet could help to boost morale within that area of the pitch.Add in the return of Giovanni Leoni, who is set to return for pre-season with Liverpool following the ACL injury he suffered back in September of last year and that is a strong defensive department.Not even a week had passed since a deal for Jeremy Jacquet was agreed and the young Frenchman suffered a serious shoulder injury against RC Lens.He was substituted in the 69th minute and has been sidelined with the problem ever since.However, despite ending his season with Rennes earlier than expected, he has given the Liverpool community something to cheer about with new pictures posted to his Instagram.Throughout the carousel, six pictures include Jacquet taking part in various training exercises, showing he is almost free of pain and able to move around freely.The last picture is of a man sat cross-legged staring at a clock, symbolizing that it is only a matter of time before not only does Jeremy Jacquet become a Liverpool player, but that the defender also recovers fully from his injury.The caption for the post also means something:“Smile despite that.
The last moments pile up.”Despite his setback, Jacquet is choosing to stay positive throughout.It is a sign that he has the mentality to succeed and after the season Liverpool have just had, that mindset is one that will be eagerly welcomed at the club.
