Liverpool is following the progress of former Arsenal defensive midfielder Havard Nordtveit who currently plays for German Bundesliga outfit, Borussia Munchengladbach.
Nordtveit spent three years at Arsenal, albeit regularly loaned out, but never managed to make a break through in to the first team on a regular basis, Arsene Wenger, the Arsenal manager, was reluctant to sell the youngster but accepted that he needed to start playing more first team football.
Nordtveit ended up at Borussia Munchengladbach at the end of 2010 and since then has grown in to a fine player, he has played his first game for Norway and established himself as a first team regular for the Bundelsiga side.
Liverpool are still in the rebuilding process and have identified Nordtveit as one of a handful of players that they would like to build their team around, he is very versatile and can play either central defence or defensive midfield and at just 21 years of age would constitute a long term signing for Liverpool manager, Kenny Dalglish.
Arsenal received just £800,000 for Nordtveit, which in all fairness was probably justified at the time, now however Nordtveit has a valuation of £5 Million and that figure is set to rise the more impressive performances the youngster puts in.
