Liverpool forward Divock Origi is believed to be ‘on the list’ of multiple Premier League clubs as the transfer deadline approaches.
The 26-year-old Belgian is reportedly a target for Crystal Palace, West Ham and Wolves as clubs look to finalise their squads over the coming days.
All three sides could use the services of an additional striker option as the Premier League season gets into full flow.
According to journalist Ekrem Konur on Twitter, the 29 times capped ace could be at the heart of a transfer battle in the closing weeks.

Origi was an unused substitute last Saturday as Jurgen Klopp’s side beat Norwich 3-0 at Carrow Road.
Last season the powerful forward scored just once in 17 appearances across all competitions.

Valued at £10.8million and under contract until 2024 (Transfermarkt), Liverpool are believed to be demanding a fee in the region of £15-20millon for the Belgian.
Those demands are unlikely to be met given the financial implications imposed by the pandemic and the Reds may have to lower their expectations.
Whilst there is no doubt Origi has been an excellent servant to the Anfield club, the time has perhaps come to cut some losses and strengthen the squad in the shape of a replacement.
