Liverpool Striker Drawing Interest From Spain

Liverpool look set for a summer cleanout as Jurgen Klopp and Michael Edwards gather funds to retool the current squad. 

Amongst those rumoured with summer Anfield exits are Xherdan Shaqiri, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Georginio Wijnaldum and now Divock Origi. 

The Liverpool cult hero has been identified by Real Sociedad as a possible replacement for outbound Alexander Isak. 

However, the Spanish side faces stiff competition from numerous Premier League sides. Amongst those interested in the Belgian striker are Wolverhampton Wanderers, Newcastle United and Aston Villa.

Jurgen Klopp has reportedly prioritised bringing in a striker this summer with Erling Haaland and Donyell Mallen recently linked with moves to Liverpool. 

With his position set for an upgrade, Divock Origi looks to be bound for an Anfield exit in an attempt to raise funds for a summer splash. 

The former Lille man has made just 17 total appearances for The Reds this season with nine of those coming in the Premier League. 

He has played just over two total matches (181 minutes) in the League this year and the majority of his time has come in the Champions League where he made his only goal contribution with an assist against Red Bull Leipzig. 

Although his influence has diminished over the past few seasons, the Belgian has had some incredible moments for Liverpool. 

Amongst those iconic moments are his winner against cross town rivals Everton, the goal that secured Liverpool’s sixth European Cup over Tottenham, and my personal favourite, “Corner taken quickly… Origi! He’s given it. Unbelievable. Divock Origi, oh my word! This is extraordinary.”

Liverpool will undoubtedly be hoping for some more Origi magic in their pursuit of their seventh European Cup. The Reds will play Real Madrid in the Champions League quarter finals.
