He was, however, back on the bench in the club's 3-2 Premier League win over Burnley on Saturday.

Jackson had already agreed personal terms and will join on a five-year deal.
Liverpool’s pursuit of Marc Guehi has hit a snag after Crystal Palace missed out on their top target to replace him. Brighton defender Igor Julio, who had been lined up by the Eagles, is now closing in on a move to West Ham instead. With Guehi wanted at Anfield in a £35 million ($47m) deal, the Eagles’ failure to land a replacement leaves Liverpool’s move hanging in the balance.
