Divock Origi has survived the Liverpool axe a number of times over the years. The Belgian has found himself repeatedly linked with a Reds exit summer after summer, only to find himself still at Anfield each time the transfer window closed.
Linking up with Liverpool in the summer of 2015, after a £10m deal with Lille was agreed the summer before, the striker initially impressed following Jurgen Klopp ’s appointment before injury derailed his progress. A disappointing loan to VfL Wolfsburg followed in 2017/18 and he has pretty much been linked with a permanent exit every year ever since.
However, the Reds didn’t receive any suitable offers that summer and Origi remained at the club, on the fringes of the first team as he recorded just 11 minutes of action during the first four months of the 2018/19 campaign. But brought in from the cold in spectacular style in December 2018 with his famous last-minute Merseyside derby winner against Everton, the striker would revive his Anfield fortunes, as Champions League heroics later that season against Barcelona and Tottenham Hotspur earned him a new contract.
