Divock Origi targeted by Galatasaray and Wolves

Galatasaray are reportedly interested in taking Divock Origi on loan in January, according to ESPN, with Wolves also monitoring his situation.

Sources claim the Turkish giants have approached Liverpool about a loan deal until the end of the season for the Belgian forward, with financial fair play prohibiting them from signing him permanently at this stage.

Origi has only played 11 minutes of first-team football this season as he struggles to make an impression on Jurgen Klopp, and with the re-emergence of Daniel Sturridge, the 23-year-old has dropped further down the pecking order.

Galatasaray are in the market for another striker, with Eren Derdiyok the only out-and-out forward in the squad after Bafetimbi Gomis left.

Closer to home, however, Wolves have been linked yet again with a move for Origi, with a permanent £20million deal mooted.

Origi was targeted in the summer but opted to stay at Liverpool and fight for his place, with Wolves moving instead for Raul Jimenez. However, Jimenez has only managed three goals this season so far and manager Nuno Espirito Santo wants to add more firepower to his squad.

Speaking about his future recently, Origi said: “At 23 I have big ambitions but for me it’s just about focusing on the here and now and driving on as much as possible and hopefully let my feet talk on the pitch.

“I just hope for the best in everything and know that whenever I can shine my light it is a positive for everyone: for the club, for me, for the game that I am trying to impact… so I am really focusing on that.”
