Origi welcomes Reds move

Cape Town - Belgium international Divock Origi has welcomed the possibility of cutting short his stay with Lille in order to return to parent club Liverpool, reports Football411.

The 19-year-old joined the Reds for a fee of £10 million following the World Cup in Brazil, before returning to Lille on a season-long loan deal.

The promising forward is open to the idea of making an early return to the Merseyside outfit, although he admits the final decision rests with Les Dogues.

"It is not me who makes the decisions but if the club choose to let me go in January, I would join Liverpool," Origi told the Daily Star.

"I said that I would stay for the whole season and I wish to remain honourable to that, of course.

"But if there was a decision by the clubs, I would not say that I would not like to go to Liverpool in January.

"I would love to move to Liverpool sooner rather than later. I can't wait to be playing in the Premier League because I can now see that it will suit me better. I think there are good things waiting for me with Liverpool."

Origi has made 17 appearances in all competitions this season, finding the back of the net on four occasions.

I'd keep Siya captain for now, but look to have someone else for 2027.
