Belgian striker Divock Origi has posted a message on Twitter, after completing his loan move to VFL Wolfsburg from Liverpool on the deadline day.

The 22-year-old managed only nine minutes of Premier League action this season so far, and it became clearer that he needs to move away from Anfield to get regular games.

With Dominic Solanke, the summer arrival from Chelsea, making a strong impression, Liverpool’s attacking line-up has been bolstered significantly, and as such, Origi has dropped down the pecking order at the club.

Liverpool, therefore, decided to send the Belgian international on loan to Wolfsburg, and he will spend the entire 2017/18 season at the Volkswagen Arena. He tweeted:

Wolfsburg have reportedly paid £6 million loan fee for the 22-year-old, and will cover the striker’s wages in full.

Given that the deal doesn’t include an option to buy permanently, it shows Origi could be a part of Klopp’s long term plans in Merseyside.

Liverpool fans took to twitter to wish him all the best and expressed their desire to have him back at Anfield, next season. Here are some of the selected tweets:
