RB Leipzig want Liverpool's Divock Origi on loan?

Liverpool striker Divock Origi is reportedly a transfer target for RB Leipzig as they look to bolster their attack for the second half of the season.

RB Leipzig could reportedly look to strike a loan deal for out-of-favour Liverpool striker Divock Origi in the January transfer window.

The 25-year-old has provided the Anfield faithful with some memorable goals down the years, but he is yet to start a Premier League game for Jurgen Klopp's side this term.

Wolverhampton Wanderers were believed to have been interested in the Liverpool man as they search for a new striker, although a recent report claimed that the West Midlands outfit have now ended their pursuit.

However, Origi has supposedly caught the eye of another European powerhouse, with German outlet Sport Bild claiming that Leipzig have shortlisted the Belgium international as an ideal signing.

Julian Nagelsmann reportedly wants to add more firepower to his ranks between now and the end of the month, with Leicester City's Kelechi Iheanacho and Nice's Kasper Dolberg all rumoured to be potential targets for Leipzig.

Origi has only scored one goal for Liverpool this season in the EFL Cup, and his current deal will expire in 2024.
