Liverpool Secure Two Defensive Signings Ahead of 2026-27

Liverpool have secured Jeremy Jacquet, a 23‑year‑old centre‑back from Rennes, for a reported £60m, and 18‑year‑old Ifeanyi Ndukwe from Austria Wien. The moves come as the club prepares for the 2026‑27 campaign and signals a targeted defensive overhaul under manager Arne Slot.

Jacquet, who recovered from a shoulder injury after surgery, is seen as an immediate reinforcement, while Ndukwe is viewed as a long‑term project. The signings reflect a measured approach that avoids the heavy spending of last summer, focusing on structural stability rather than reckless spending.
