Divock Origi reveals why he chose to stay at Liverpool

Divock Origi has admitted that a ‘gut feeling’ told him to stay at Liverpool this summer after helping his side win the Champions League final in June.

The Belgian forward scored three crucial goals across two European matches to help the Reds lift the famous trophy in Madrid.

And with the first-choice trio of Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane all set for a delayed start to the 2019/20 season, 24-year-old Origi is likely to start up front for Jurgen Klopp’s side.

“It is a lot to happen in a year,” Origi said. “And that’s the beauty of football.

“Winning the Champions League is a boy’s dream so it changes a lot in a player’s career. I finished last season very well and again in training I feel well. It is on me to show it on the pitch.

“I just sat down and I felt like I wanted to stay and help this team.

“I felt good, I just had to keep performing in training and I knew my chance would come. I felt like we could do something special.

“I just had to block everything out on the outside and focus on the right things. In football you never know 100%, it could have gone another way as well but that’s the choice I made.”
