Liverpool are being linked with a summer move for Wolfsburg defender Micky van de Ven.

The centre back is one who the Reds may see as first team material next to either Virgil Van Dijk or Ibrahima Konate next season.

The i states that incoming sporting director Jorg Schmadtke could target his former club for van de Ven.

The source claims they have been told by people close to the player that he would be eager to make the move.

Liverpool are said to be one of the many clubs who are chasing van de Ven.

The 22-year-old enjoyed a very impressive season for Wolfburg in the Bundesliga.
