# Virals: EPL club ‘make contact’ for Liverpool star Divock Origi

[Liverpool](https://readliverpoolfc.com/2022/01/31/virals-liverpool-starlet-neco-williams-could-leave-following-efl-enquiry/) striker [Divock Origi](https://readliverpoolfc.com/2022/01/28/virals-liverpool-to-consider-offers-for-divock-origi-and-takumi-minamino/) is reportedly subject of interest from West Ham on transfer deadline day.

The 26-year-old has been [linked with a move away](https://twitter.com/JamesPearceLFC/status/1487013070237052933?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1487013070237052933%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Freadliverpoolfc.com%2F2022%2F01%2F28%2Fvirals-liverpool-to-consider-offers-for-divock-origi-and-takumi-minamino%2F) from the Reds for some time and the Hammers could be about to make their move.

According to a report from [Football Insider](https://www.footballinsider247.com/divock-origi-west-ham-make-contact-with-liverpool-over-last-gasp-deal-sources/), as cited on [Twitter](https://twitter.com/footyinsider247/status/1488069608871497728), the East London club have ‘asked to be kept informed’ on any movement during the final day of the window.

The report claims that Liverpool are ‘willing to listen to offers’ for the [31-cap](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/divock-origi/nationalmannschaft/spieler/148368/verein_id/3382) Belgian ace.

This season Origi has [scored five times and provided two assists](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/divock-origi/leistungsdaten/spieler/148368) in 10 appearances across all competitions for Jurgen Klopp’s side.

### READ LIVERPOOL VERDICT

Valued at £10.8million and out of contract at the end of the season barring the trigger of an extension ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/divock-origi/marktwertverlauf/spieler/148368)), cashing in on the Belgian in this window would make sense from a financial perspective.

Having already established himself as a [cult hero](https://talksport.com/football/623953/liverpool-divock-origi-merseyside-derbies-forgotten-man-cult-hero/) at Anfield, Origi’s legacy is untouchable on Merseyside and the enigmatic striker would leave with his head held high.

Following the [arrival of Luis Diaz](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/60180371) and the imminent return of Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane, Klopp could sanction the departure of Origi in the final hours of the window.
