Divock Origi has played his ‘last game’ for Liverpool after ‘mad’ blunder – expert
Frank McAvennie claims Divock Origi has played his last game for Liverpool.
The former West Ham hitman, speaking exclusively to Football Insider, reacted to the latest on the striker’s future.
On Wednesday (23 March), a club source told Football Insider Liverpool have told Origi they will let him go for free in the summer.
The Belgium international, 26, has three offers on the table as he looks to agree a pre-contract in the coming weeks.
McAvennie can’t see Origi playing for Liverpool considering the quality of the players ahead of him in the pecking order.
“He’s had a good run at Liverpool but I think his time is up,” McAvennie told Football Insider correspondent Ben Wild.
“He has a good few years left in him at the top level and maybe he can find a club where he will play regularly.
“Look at the players ahead of him, Salah, Mane, Firmino, Diaz, Jota, he doesn’t get in ahead of any of them.
“Every game is so important for Liverpool now, they don’t really have a chance to play him.
“Hopefully he does get a chance to say goodbye to the fans because he has given them so many good memories.
“It’s a bit mad that he’s going on a free because Liverpool could probably get some money for him.”
Origi has scored 40 goals in 171 appearances across all competitions.
He has scored some iconic goals for the club, most notably against Tottenham in the 2019 Champions League final.
