Liverpool set to END worrying transfer trend

Jeremy Jacquet ends Liverpool's worrying centre-back trend

Liverpool have needed a centre-back for an while and they have even been in this position before where they were short of options while aiming to retain their title.

On both occasions, it has cost them massively, which is why the signing of Jeremey Jacquet comes as a huge relief to supporters.

He will not join until the summer, but he will be just the third centre-back signing over the age of 20 for Liverpool since Virgil van Dijk in 2018.

One of these was Ben Davies, however, who never even played for the club, with the other being Ibrahima Konate.

Other centre-back signings since the Dutchman have been Giovanni Leoni, Sepp van den Berg, and Ozan Kabak, although the latter was only on loan.

This shows just how much Liverpool have limited themselves over the years in signing players at the back, with it really no surprise why they have struggled so much this season.

Jacquet really will be a welcomed arrival as he puts to an end this abysmal trend, although just how good he will turn out to be is as good a guess as any.

Liverpool still need another centre-back in the summer

Although Jacquet will arrive in the summer, Konate looks like he will be on his way out, meaning they will have not actually added depth.

With that said, another defender is still needed, two if Joe Gomez also leaves, suggesting it will be another busy summer for the Reds.

A versatile option would be best, someone who can cover the full-back positions if needed, but who that could be is not yet known.

Van Dijk is not getting any younger either, meaning they will have to plan for life without him soon, so another statement signing could be on the cards.
