West Ham United should make a move for the Liverpool forward.
Liverpool have reportedly lowered their demands for Divock Origi, according to a report from the Mirror, and with Turkish clubs showing interest in the striker, West Ham should swoop in and attempt to bring the Belgian to east London.
Hammers boss Manuel Pellegrini has been heavily active already in the transfer window, spending close to £100 million, but he is still yet to add to his centre-forward department, and Origi could be just the man for the job.
The 23-year-old joined Liverpool from Lille in the summer of 2014, for a fee believed to be worth in the region of £10 million, but he has since struggled to establish himself as a first-team regular at Anfield.
That isn’t to say that he hasn’t got what it takes to make it at the very highest level, though, and he could prove to be a real asset for West Ham.
Origi possesses blistering pace and always makes willing runs in behind the opposition’s defence – something that the Hammers currently lack in the final third.
The Belgian forward has so much potential, and if given a run of regular first-team action, he might just turn out to be one of the league’s best front-men.
Quite how much Liverpool are prepared to sell him for is unclear, but West Ham should test the waters with an enquiry nevertheless.
Manuel Pellegrini is building a wonderfully exciting group of players at the London Stadium, and Origi might just be the cherry on the cake for the Chilean this summer.
