Arsenal Second In Race For Belgium International Divock Origi

Arsenal who have yet to sign anyone new and have also announced 11 departures, will unfortunately have to fight with Liverpool and Tottenham for Divock Origi’s signature. Liverpool who just found out their star striker is out for the next four months due to a FIFA suspension, will be the most dangerous adversary for the Gunners. According to the Daily Mail Wenger who seems pretty delighted with the idea of working with the 19 year old Belgium international could start the bidding quicker than expected. Valued at £6million, Lille’s striker who only scored six times in 40 games for the French side, looks like a promising youngster.

Origi just scored his first ever goal for Belgium and everyone is now hot on his trail. After a great performance, the 19 year old might get an important shot at becoming a team regular for a club in the UK. Wenger will have to come up with a good transfer strategy considering the fact that Liverpool already know what they will do with the Belgian. If he does join Liverpool he will continue with Lille for one year on loan after signing a contract with the Premier League runners-up.


This deal looks like a maybe for the Gunners in this transfer window, as Joel Campbell looks like he has a better chance of making it in North London over young Origi at this time.
