Liverpool 'were considering a bid for Son Heung-min this summer' had Tottenham not qualified for the Champions League.
Jurgen Klopp had reportedly identified Spurs' South Korean forward as a potential replacement for Sadio Mane or Mohamed Salah if they departed Anfield.
According to Football.London, Liverpool were prepared to test Spurs' resolve with a substantial bid for Son had they not finished in the top four.
However, after Son's 23 goals won him the Golden Boot - jointly with Salah - and helped Spurs into Europe's top competition, Liverpool ended their interest.
