How Jérémy Jacquet's €72m Transfer To Liverpool Could Shape The Future Of The Defense.

When Liverpool sanctioned a €72 million move for Jérémy Jacquet, the football world paused. Not because the Merseyside giants are strangers to big-money transfers, but because this deal felt deliberate, symbolic, and forward-looking in a way that few defensive signings ever are. In an era where attacking flair dominates headlines, Liverpool’s decision to invest heavily in a young, tactically intelligent defender signals a deeper strategic shift—one that could redefine the club’s defensive identity for the next decade. Jacquet’s arrival is not just about filling a positional gap. It represents a philosophical statement about how elite defenses are built in modern football, how Liverpool intend to evolve post-Klopp, and how the Premier League’s tactical arms race is increasingly won from the back. The Rise of Jérémy Jacquet: From Prospect to Priority Jérémy Jacquet’s journey to Liverpool has been anything but ordinary. Emerging from the French footballing ecosystem—long renowned for prod...

Arsenal star set to leave following preseason, with former Premier League winners in discussions with the Gunners to sign him.

According to Sky Sports, Arsenal striker Reiss Nelson will explore his alternatives following the pre-season tour of the United States, given his unclear future with the North London club. Last season, the 24-year-old appeared in 23 games in all competitions, but only started three times, and he is willing to leave for better opportunities.

Some Premier League and European clubs are interested in acquiring Nelson's talents, with West Ham United watching his situation and Leicester City already in talks with Arsenal about signing him. The Hale End youth graduate wants to stay in the Premier League if he departs the Gunners this summer, giving the 2015-16 champions a significant advantage in their pursuit of the attacker following their return to the English top division. However, landing him will not be cheap, since Nelson has three years left on his present contract, with the option to extend it by 12 months.

The former England youth international played 71 minutes against Manchester United in Arsenal's first pre-season encounter, as well as 63 minutes against Bournemouth on Thursday. Nelson is scheduled to play again against Liverpool on Thursday and Bayer Leverkusen on Wednesday, and he will most likely have decided on his future by the time he returns from Arsenal's trip.

Emile Smith Rowe has already decided to join Fulham, and the Craven Cottage club has signed an agreement in principle with the North Londoners for a £34 million transfer. Nelson might be the next to depart if Leicester or West Ham can persuade him to join them, and he will be eager to show himself elsewhere after failing to break into boss Mikel Arteta's first-team plans.

Didier Deschamps plans to discuss France captaincy with Kylian Mbappé, as Ibrahima Konaté's popularity rises.

Will Kylian Mbappé (25) keep his position as France captain in 2025? It remains to be seen, given the Real Madrid striker's absences from the previous two international holidays with Les Bleus. According to L'Equipe, Les Bleus coach Didier Deschamps will confront the former PSG forward about his desire to continue wearing the captain's armband. The manager, a former France captain, reportedly wants to know if Mbappé feels the captaincy is too much for him to bear, and if wearing the captain's armband affects his time with his France teammates. According to the source, Deschamps is aware of speculations that Mbappé has considering retiring as France's captain. If Mbappé expresses his desire to remain France captain, there is little reason to suppose Deschamps will relinquish him of his captaincy duties. However, if Mbappé expresses his desire to resign his position, Deschamps will select another captain. Mbappé's successor is projected to be one of Aurélien Tcho...
