Liverpool forward Divock Origi has reportedly emerged as a potential transfer target for Lazio.
The Belgium international has continued in his bit-part role at Anfield this season, making just four starts and six substitute appearances in all competitions.
While the 26-year-old has been denied further opportunities due to injury, it remains unclear whether the versatile attacker will look to depart the club when his contract expires in the summer.
According to Il Tempo, Lazio have identified Origi as a priority target for the January window as they bid to close the gap on the top four in the Serie A standings.
The report claims that contact has already been made with the player's representatives, while Liverpool are allegedly open to a sale for the right price.
However, should Jurgen Klopp be happy to cash in on a player that he has spoken highly of in recent months, any transfer could be delayed until Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah return from the Africa Cup of Nations.
