While substantial work will be needed to restore Liverpool as genuine title challengers, Iraola can at least rely upon Jeremy Jacquet and Ifeanyi Ndukwe from the start.The two defenders were amongst Slot's final signings back in January, with Jacquet having cost the club $83 million (£60M) from Rennes. The 20-year-old is regarded as one of the most promising defenders on the continent and is anticipated to be available for pre-season after undergoing shoulder surgery.Jacquet may find himself with a more significant role than originally expected at Liverpool following Konate's departure, and the young Frenchman emphasized he is determined to make an instant impact at the Premier League club.He told newspaper Ouest-France: "I won't say it (his decision) was a quick one, because I took my time with this big step but I quickly saw myself at Liverpool.

For me, there's the sporting project and the personal project."At my age, I prioritise the sporting side. Initially, we were leaning towards a mid-table club.Jeremy Jacquet will complete his move to Liverpool this summer(Image: Neal Simpson/Sportsphoto/Allstar via Getty Images)"But then I told him, 'If the biggest clubs in Europe are interested, we're not going to turn them down.

They're there for a reason.' I spoke with the management; the club's history weighed heavily on my decision, but so did the project they offered me.""Promising young players command quite high prices and of course, that adds pressure: am I worth that price or not? I think I have the minimum resources to go there.
