Wolverhampton Wanderers are reportedly set to make another move to sign Divock Origi from Premier League high-flyers Liverpool in 2019.

Divock Origi has not played even a second of first-team football for Liverpool in all competitions this season. But it would be unfair to write the Belgian striker off as a wasted talent.

Origi is still just 23 years of age after all and it should not be forgotten that he scored an impressive 12 goals in his first two Premier League seasons under Jurgen Klopp. The former Lille youngster might just need a move away from Anfield in order to get his form and confidence back.

And that is where Wolves come in.

It is well documented that the Premier League newcomers agreed a £22 million fee with Liverpool in August, only for Origi to reject a move to Molineux. But the Liverpool Echo claims that the Reds are expecting to receive another offer from Wolves in the January transfer window and they are willing to sell for £20 million.

And, who knows, perhaps Origi could be the man who takes Wolves to another level.

Raul Jimenez has certainly earned plenty of fans since he arrived at Molinuex on loan from Benfica but, for all his intelligent link play and commendable work rate, the Mexican international has scored a paltry two goals in nine games so far.

Origi could lead the line in a similar fashion – but with added end product.
