Divok Origi open to returning to Liverpool in JANUARY to ease striker crisis

DIVOCK ORIGI has revealed he would happily move to Liverpool in January to help solve their striker crisis.

The Belgium striker is currently on loan at Lille after agreeing a £10m move from the French side to Anfield in the summer.

Part of the agreement was that the 19-year-old spends this season with Lille.

Now he admits he would love to move to Anfield in January - but only if the Ligue 1 side let him go.

He said: "It is not me who makes the decisions but if the club choose to let me go in January I would go, I would like to join Liverpool then.

"I said that I would stay for the whole season and I wish to remain honourable in that, of course, but if there was a decision by the clubs, I would not say that I would not like to go to Liverpool in January.

"I would love to move to Liverpool sooner rather than later.

"I am here at Lille, its fine, they are a good club and they have helped me.

"I can't wait to be playing in the Premier League because I can now see that it will suit me better. I think there are good thing waiting for me with Liverpool."

The Reds have been without star striker Daniel Sturridge since August after he picked up an injury while on England duty at the start of September.

Kop boss Brendan Rodgers has also seen his other forwards - Mario Balotelli, Rickie Lambert and Fabio Borini - draw blanks in the Premier League.

Origi added: "It is difficult when you do not have a player like Daniel Sturridge, for instance.

"What I believe is that they just have to be more efficient but I also believe that it is only a matter of time before it comes."
