Wolves keen on £20m Origi

Wolves are reported to be lining up a £20million bid for Liverpool striker Divock Origi in the January transfer window.

The Molineux outfit have spent big since winning promotion to the Premier League, but reports claim they are ready to get the cheque book out again to land Origi.

Origi has struggled for playing time this season, managing just 11 minutes of first-team football and, with Roberto Firmino and Daniel Sturridge ahead of him in the pecking order, his situation is unlikely to change.

The Belgium international has spent time on loan at clubs such as Wolfsburg and there has been talk of him joining Galatasaray or Rangers on a temporary basis this season.

However it is claimed that Wolves are keen to take him on a permanent basis, and the chance to bring in £20million could be too good to turn down for the Reds.

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp is not in a rush to lose the striker, who he sees as a useful back-up to his main strikers, but the cash will be tempting and he will not want to deny Origi the chance to play regular football either.
