Ex-Liverpool striker Divock Origi will be available as a free agent in January and fans have made their feelings clearFormer Liverpool striker Divock Origi has been urged to make a sensational return to Anfield after it was confirmed he is set to become a free agent in January.The Belgian initially signed for the Reds over a decade ago in 2014, but was immediately loaned back to former club Lille for the 2014/15 season, before eventually joining up with his new teammates the following summer.However, he later underwent surgery on a knee injury in 2016 and struggled to get back up to speed under Jurgen Klopp. He spent the 2017/18 campaign on loan in the Bundesliga with Wolfsburg, before returning to finally kickstart his Liverpool career.Although Origi was never a regular starter for the Reds, he ultimately amassed over 170 appearances across all competitions for the club.



He has not featured since before his loan spell, and reports now suggest his contract is set to be ripped up ahead of the January window.That's according to journalist Fabrizio Romano, who says the 30-year-old has signed his contract termination and will be without a club from January. Unsurprisingly, a number of Liverpool fans responded to the news with calls to bring the striker back to Anfield - albeit many of the shouts were likely made in jest."Bring him home," was a common response from supporters to Romano's latest update on the striker’s future.

January's round the corner and Isak's out for a while. The club confirmed on Monday that the Sweden international has undergone surgery on an ankle injury, which includes a fibula fracture, following the challenge made by Spurs defender Micky van de Van after Isak scored in Saturday's win.With Mohamed Salah facing an uncertain future at the club, as well as the fact he is also away at the Africa Cup of Nations, Liverpool's attacking depth is looking painfully thin.
