On Tuesday afternoon, the "Liverpool" club officially announced that they have acquired 19-year-old Belgian national team striker Divock Origi from the "Lille" team.
Rumors about his possible move to Brendan Rodgers' team had been circulating for several weeks, but the deal was only completed at the end of July.
D. Origi raised his value at the World Cup, where the Belgian national team reached the quarterfinals. The 19-year-old outperformed Romelu Lukaku for a spot in the starting lineup during the tournament.
Origi started his career at the "Genk" team and moved to the youth academy of the "Lille" club at just 15 years old.
The footballer made his debut in the first team of the "Ligue 1" championship club last season, playing 30 times and scoring 5 goals in the French league.
The Belgian will spend the next season in the same "Lille" team, as "Liverpool" sent him on loan.
It is reported that "Liverpool" paid 10 million pounds for D. Origi.
