Liverpool signed teenager Divock Origi yesterday before immediately loaning the Belgium World Cup striker back to Ligue 1 side Lille for next season.
“I am very happy and delighted a club as big as Liverpool showed interest in me,” the 19-year-old said.
“I know it’s a club with a great history, great fans and a lot of great players. For me Liverpool are one of the greatest clubs in the world.”
Origi began his career as a youth team player at Genk before joining Lille in 2010.
He celebrated his debut for the French club with a goal against Troyes in February 2013 and has scored six times in total for the Ligue 1 club.
Origi was also on target for Belgium in their World Cup group stage match against Russia in Brazil last month.
