Liverpool reportedly showed "concrete interest" in Tottenham Hotspur defender Micky van de Ven earlier this summer, with fresh details emerging after the Netherlands international committed his future to the north London club.
According to De Telegraaf, Liverpool made an approach for Van de Ven in June while uncertainty remained over his contractual situation at Spurs.
The defender has now signed a new agreement with Tottenham, effectively closing the door on any immediate move away.
Liverpool's interest makes considerable sense when viewed through the circumstances surrounding the club this summer.
Andoni Iraola inherited a squad requiring reinforcement at centre-back, and Van de Ven represented the sort of defender who could immediately alter the physical capabilities of Liverpool's back line.
