AC Milan are currently listening to offers for Divock Origi, a player who West Ham United have recently looked at.
According to Sky Sports, Milan are open to proposals for Divock Origi and the 28-year-old is eager to return to England.
He joined the Italian giants from Liverpool in 2022 after his contract at Anfield expired. However, it now looks like he could be coming back to the Premier League.
West Ham are thought to have held an interest in Origi, with 90min reporting that the Hammers have considered the Belgian.
He has not featured for Milan in the new season, so an exit now seems highly likely.
Divock Origi could be a good squad player for West Ham
Origi has not done enough over the past year to come in and be West Ham’s first-choice striker.
Last term, the Belgium international scored just two goals in 27 league appearances for Milan. Overall, he has never been a prolific striker.
The 2016/17 Premier League campaign was his best as a Liverpool player, but he only managed to find the back of the net seven times in 34 outings.
Nevertheless, the fact that he knows the division may appeal to David Moyes, while he clearly does have some useful attributes. His former manager Jurgen Klopp has hailed him as an “incredible football player”.
Ultimately, then, Origi may be able to come in and do a job for West Ham, but asking him to lead the line and score goals each week is probably too much to demand.
It does not look like Origi is a priority for West Ham now anyway. But given that he has played in England before and is available, whether it is the Hammers or another Premier League club, someone may end up biting before the transfer window closes.
