Liverpool 'close to signing Divock Origi'

Liverpool are reportedly close to sealing a deal to bring Divock Origi back from his loan spell at Lille earlier than initially agreed.

Liverpool are reportedly close to sealing a deal to bring Divock Origi back from his loan spell at Lille.

The Belgium international forward signed for the Reds for £11m in the summer under the conditions that he would spend the 2014-15 season in France.

However, the Anfield side have struggled for goals in the absence of the injured Daniel Sturridge, and the shot-shy trio of Mario Balotelli, Rickie Lambert and Fabio Borini have forced manager Brendan Rodgers to act.

According to Canal+, a deal to bring Origi to Liverpool this month is close to completion, although a reported fee of around €6m [£4.6m] will have to be paid to Lille by the five-time European Cup winners.

The Reds are currently eighth in the Premier League table.
