'Great news, but we need defenders now' - fans on Jacquet move

We asked for your views on the £60m deal to sign Rennes defender Jeremy Jacquet this summer.

Here are some of your comments:

Sean: A very exciting signing but a shame it couldn't happen in the January window. Rennes play a different game to Liverpool but Jacquet is as good mentally as Van Dijk from what I've seen. Great on the ball. Will need bulking up for the Premier League - he's a little too nimble for a Premier League centre-back at present.

Baz: Lot of money for a young player in his breakout year, when we could have had a proven, English, Premier League defender for £20m. Ligue 1 not the most challenging league so it will be interesting to see if he can live up to his potential in the Premier League.

Peter: Good business. Showing great promise as a youngster and likely to be a good long-term prospect partnering with Giovanni Leoni. Smart to avoid even more bidding competition in summer transfer window.

David: £60m!! Hope he's worth it. Guehi was £20m and Premier League proven - explain it to me.

Lee: That's great news, but we need defenders now.

Shane: OK, it's an investment, but we need a centre-back right now. Guehi was that man but the backroom team fell asleep.

Nigel: I don't understand why Liverpool didn't try to sign Guehi. Sure, a bidding war with Manchester City might have ensued to inflate the price, but we would have secured a tried and tested Premier League defender in January at a price much lower than Jacquet.
