da prosport bet： Liverpool’s strike force needs some urgent attention in the January transfer window and if the club managed to pull off a double swoop for Divok Origi and Gonzalo Higuain, they’d suddenly have all the firepower they need to really push up the table.
da 888casino： Technically, Origi is already a Liverpool player but he is currently on loan with Ligue 1 side Lille. The French team are very reluctant to let the 19-year-old leave in January but Liverpool appear to be determined to get him back at Anfield as soon as possible. It is believed Liverpool would have to pay a fee of around £4.6m to Lille to end Origi’s loan early. The young Belgian was very impressive in last year’s World Cup finals, scoring the only goal against Russia in the group stage to help Belgium qualify for the knockout stages of the competition.
Origi possesses a great deal of pace and can take players on as well as being good in the air. He kept Lukaku on the bench at the World Cup so there is no doubting what he can bring to Liverpool. So far this season, the Reds have lacked a finisher up front and the goals have really dried up compared to last season’s devastating front pairing of Luis Suarez and Daniel Sturridge. Although Origi is certainly talented, he is not exactly prolific. The striker has only scored three league goals in 17 appearances this season. However, at just 19, he possesses a lot of talent that suggests he will be more than able to adjust to the rigours of Premier League football, as well as being another star for the future at Liverpool.
The other striking target linked with a move to Anfield is Napoli’s Gonzalo Higuain. The 27-year-old is one of the best out-and-out strikers in world football and his goalscoring record clearly proves this. Over the course of his career, he averages around a goal every two games. He bagged 15 goals in 35 River Plate appearances, an excellent 107 goals in 190 games for Real Madrid and he currently has 26 goals in 49 appearances for Serie A side Napoli.
Make no mistake about it, Higuain will bring goals to any side he plays for and if Liverpool can get hold of a striker who is entering the prime stages of his career, it would be an excellent signing for Brendan Rodgers. A bid of around £30 million will encourage the Naples club to part with their star striker. Liverpool are hoping that the sale of the controversial Mario Balotelli will raise enough funds to lodge a successful bid for the Argentinian striker.
If Liverpool only manage to bring one of these strikers in this month it would still great news for the club as there will be more options for Brendan Rodgers to choose from. Couple that with the imminent return of Daniel Sturridge and Liverpool suddenly have a competent strike force again. Many fans will be excited about the prospect of Higuain joining the club and Origi’s early arrival from France would be a boost to the Merseysiders’ European push.
If these transfers go through, Rodgers will feel that he has enough firepower to really push his team up the table. It has been a difficult first half of the season for Rodgers’ men but a successful January could change their fortunes. A rested Sterling returning to form the effective partnership with Daniel Sturridge and the potential of at least one new striker added to the mix in January will put Liverpool in a much healthier position than the one they occupy now.
There is the potential for fortunes to change at Anfield as long as Rodgers gets it right this time.
