Rijnsburg Boys striker Dani van der Moot has spoken of turning down Liverpool.

Rijnsburg Boys play in the third-tier of Dutch professional football.

However, the striker has revealed how close he came to joining the Reds as a 15-year-old and the regret he still has over turning them down.

"If I regret something, it is that I let Liverpool go," he told Elfvoetbal.

"There were more clubs from abroad with interest, but Liverpool was the most concrete. I visited [with] my parents for a day and was given a tour of the stadium, complex and city. They showed me what I could expect if I started playing soccer and living there. A beautiful day and a wonderful memory forever."

The striker is still hoping that his career may take off and reach the heights predicted during his youth.

"I will probably follow a Spanish course. A language that I can use a lot later. Maybe even for my football career, because if I have learned something in recent years, a career can go crazy.

"I have learned that you cannot plan in football. You are as good as your last game and I have to make sure that I stay as consistent as possible."
