Liverpool are still targeting Micky van de Ven with a view to a summer transfer.

The Dutchman, who is with the Netherlands as part of their Euro U21 Championships squad, is ready to move to a top club.

Per Football Insider's David Lynch, Van de Ven has impressed with his displays at Wolfsburg.

Given Liverpool's new sporting director Jörg Schmadtke previously worked at Wolfsburg, he is aware of the defender's qualities.

The Reds are set to make an important bid to secure the 22-year-old's signature.

Even though they have been told that he is not for sale, Liverpool believe they can bid high enough to force Wolfsburg's hand.
