Divock Origi: Liverpool forward will ‘100 per cent’ quit to join Premier League rivals – expert
Frank McAvennie claims Divock Origi won’t be at Liverpool next season.
The former West Ham hitman, speaking exclusively to Football Insider, insists the striker will be in demand this summer.
Origi, 26, has made 12 appearances for Liverpool this season and has scored five goals.
However, only four of those 12 outings have been starts and the striker has seen his game time further limited following the arrival of Luis Diaz in January.
McAvennie can’t see Origi playing his way back into the side with five players ahead of him in the pecking order.
“Origi is still there though it’s easy to forget that,” McAvennie told Football Insider correspondent Ben Wild.
“He will be off in the summer, I’m certain, 100%. There are five very good players ahead of him.
“He’s nowhere near good enough as the likes of Salah and Mane. I thought he would go on deadline day.
“Him leaving is nailed on. They don’t need him and he must be in demand. He’s a proven goalscorer at this level.
“Bottom half clubs could do a lot worse. I rate him, he pops up with goals but he’s just not good enough for where Liverpool are.
“He always does a job so he will end up at a good club but there is no way he is still at Liverpool next season.”
Origi has made 169 appearances for Liverpool since joining the club in 2014.
He has scored 40 goals for the club.
