The England international's future at Anfield is remain uncertain at present, as Reds manager Jurgen Klopp has left him on the bench in favour of Divock
Origi most of the time.
Not exact matches
According to The Times, Benteke is the
most tempting option due to his experience, as he could lead a relatively youthful front - line also featuring the likes of Divock
Origi, who will return to Anfield from loan with Ligue 1 side Lille.
In the April edition of the CIES Football Observatory Monthly Report on «Spotting future stars», the think - tank's metric ranked
Origi as the
most experienced young forward in the big - five leagues, giving him a score of 75.4.
His father Mike
Origi is the first Kenyan ever to play pro football in Europe spending
most of his career in Belgium where Divock was born.
There was a level of excitement as fans hoped they'd secured the services of one of Europe's
most exciting youngsters and as Daniel Sturridge's injuries, Christian Benteke's poor form and Roberto Firmino's hesitant start to life in England evolved,
Origi was thrust into the limelight earlier than perhaps planned.
Smith's energy and enthusiasm to get forward meant his flank was Liverpool's
most profitable in the first half but, for all the youngster's endeavour, what could just about be described as their only chance saw Divock
Origi, preferred up front to Belgium team - mate Christian Benteke, fire a left - to - right shot wide of the far post.
Amongst the
most improved players, Divock
Origi has grown under Klopp and although he's yet to feature heavily for the Reds this season, there's much that can be said of Klopp's influence on the young Belgian forward.
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp more than matched Martinez, changing nine players from the win over Bournemouth at the weekend, and
most notably he opted to start the match with the in - form
Origi, rather than Sturridge, up front.
