Jeremy Jacquet has admitted he opted to join Liverpool over Chelsea because of the club\u2019s history and the project they offered.<\/p>\n

The Blues pursued Jacquet for the majority of the January window, and it appeared at one point they were going to sign the France under-21 international from Rennes.<\/p>\n

However, towards the end of the window Jacquet agreed a \u00c2\u00a361m move to Liverpool, and days later picked up a shoulder injury which kept him out for the entire second half of the season.<\/p>\n

Jeremy Jacquet explains why he chose Liverpool over Chelsea<\/h2>\n

For the Blues it was another target they missed out on at centre back, and they ended up recalling Mamadou Sarr from his loan at Strasbourg.<\/p>\n

Chelsea are still in the market for a centre back this summer, and Jacquet has now explained why he opted to move to Anfield over Stamford Bridge.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd as for my decision, I won\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t say it was a quick one, because I took my time with this big step. But I quickly saw myself at Liverpool,\u201d he told Ouest France.<\/p>\n

\u201cI heard they (Liverpool) arrived last minute, but that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s not true. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d been talking to them for a long time. There were others. (Man United) For example, but other clubs not mentioned. It didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t happen in a week.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt Chelsea, I felt there were quite a lot of people. Whereas at Liverpool, apart from the fact that (Virgil) Van Dijk is nearing the end of his career, training with him is going to be huge.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s going to teach me so much. There\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s also Ibou Konat\u00c3\u00a9 who can help me settle in. It doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t get any better than that. The history weighed heavily on my decision, but so did the project they offered me.\u201d<\/p>\n
