However, he has ended up signing for Brihgton in a £25.4 million deal from Feyenoord, where he played under now Reds boss Arne Slot.
"There were a few clubs, but not really as concrete as Brighton," he told Viaplay.
"Liverpool were not actually an option.
"I had been in discussions with Brighton for a long time and had the feeling that they really wanted me.
“Before I went to Feyenoord, I had already spoken to Union (Saint-Gilloise). They work together with Brighton. So, they have actually known me for a very long time."
