Newcastle United supporters are keen to see Liverpool striker Divock Origi brought in.

Newcastle are known to be on the hunt for a striker, with the Chronicle suggesting that West Bromwich Albion’s Salomon Rondon is their top target.

However, the Chronicle have also stated that Origi is on Newcastle’s radar this summer.

And the St. James’ Park crowd appear to be keen to see the Belgian forward on Tyneside.

Origi has shown flashes of quality during his time with Liverpool, although he was loaned out last season.

Newcastle’s best chance of landing him may be on a temporary deal, as he is still thought to have a bright future at Anfield.

Newcastle have not spent as heavily as anticipated this summer, and may be reliant on loan deals, as Benitez looks to bolster his squad.

Newcastle’s only additions so far are Martin Dubravka, Kenedy and Ki Sung-Yeung.
