Former France international Emmanuel Petit has praised Jeremy Jacquet, saying the young defender is improving Liverpool team-mate Virgil van Dijk rather than the other way around.
“It is he who makes van Dijk better, not the other way around,” Petit said of the 21-year-old central defender.
Jacquet has made an impressive start to his international career, producing two strong performances in his first appearances for France after beginning the season well with Liverpool.
The defender moved to Liverpool last summer, although the transfer had been agreed at the start of the year. Jacquet has played seven matches for the Reds.
