The possibility of Divock Origi’s return to the English Premier League (EPL) has been raised.
The Belgian striker boasts a sturdy physique at 189cm and is surprisingly fast for his height. He is adept at ball control and has the dribbling skills to navigate past opponents. Despite not always performing at his best, he is the type of player who can score when it matters most, especially within the box.
He had a long stint with Liverpool. Joining Anfield for the 2015-16 season, he often came on as a substitute, gradually gaining experience. During the 2016-17 season, he made a personal record with 34 league appearances. However, desiring more game time due to continuous competition for the starting spot, he went on loan to Wolfsburg for the 2017-18 season and delivered notable performances메이저사이트 기준.
Nevertheless, his situation at Liverpool did not improve. Due to the formation of the ‘Mane-Salah-Firmino’ line since the 2017-18 season, Origi was primarily relegated to the bench.
Yet, he made significant impacts. Last month, in the Merseyside Derby against Everton, substitute Origi scored the decisive goal in the 85th minute, sealing the victory for his team.
Such clutch goals became his signature, earning him the nickname ‘Miracle Striker’. The most iconic instance was in the 2018-19 UEFA Champions League semifinals. Liverpool suffered a 3-0 defeat in the first leg against Barcelona. Although the second leg was at Anfield, overturning such a deficit seemed unlikely. However, Origi scored a goal in each half, leading Liverpool to a 4-0 victory. This triumph paved their way to the finals, where Liverpool won, with Origi scoring another crucial goal.
However, he ended his journey with Liverpool last season. With his contract expiring, he informed the club of his decision and moved to AC Milan during the summer 토토사이트 순위transfer window. After a long stay in England, Origi made 36 appearances for Milan, including cup matches, with 2 goals and 1 assist. Just like his Liverpool days, most of these were substitute appearances.
This season, he has fallen out of favor. Hence, rumors have emerged about a potential EPL return just a year later. The British media ‘TalkSport’ reported, “Sheffield United is considering a loan move for Origi.” Currently, Sheffield is in dire need of a striker. With a mere goal in 2 league games, their scoring has been lackluster, and they hope to address this issue by bringing in Origi.
