He's remained in France before arriving on Merseyside this summer, where much will be expected given his price tag.Jacquet considered both Premier League sides, but ultimately decided that Liverpool's stature coupled with the lack of centre-back competition made him opt for red over blue, but he knows he's arriving with hefty expectations.The 21-year-old, who joins for an initial £55m with a further £5m in add-ons, still has limited exposure as a professional, but insists he has the "minimum resources" to rock up at Liverpool and make an impact as the club look to put a difficult season under Arne Slot behind them.He told French newspaper Ouest-France: "I won't say it [his decision] was a quick one, because I took my time with this big step but I quickly saw myself at Liverpool. For me, there's the sporting project and the personal project."At my age, I prioritise the sporting side.



I'm focused on football. But then I told him: 'If the biggest clubs in Europe are interested, we're not going to turn them down.

They're there for a reason.'"I spoke with the management; the club's history weighed heavily on my decision but so did the project they offered me. I think I have the minimum resources to go there.
