Brendan Rodgers eager to bring back Divock Origi in January?

Rodgers wants Origi back in January?

Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers has reportedly made plans to bring Divock Origi back to the club from Lille in January.

Origi completed a £12m move to Liverpool in the summer, but the Belgian striker was immediately loaned back to Lille on a season-long deal.

According to The Express, Rodgers is eager to cut the loan short as he looks to add more goals to his squad following a difficult start to the new campaign.

However, it is believed that Liverpool did not insert a recall clause into the agreement with the Ligue 1 side, and they could face a tough challenge persuading them to release the 19-year-old.

Origi has scored four goals in 11 games for Lille this season.
