Divock Origi reveals his delight with the backing he received from Liverpool before agreeing his transfer earlier in the summer.

Divock Origi has admitted that it was important to receive the backing he did from Liverpool before signing earlier this summer.

The Belgian forward will spend the season back on loan at Lille after agreeing a £10m transfer to Liverpool, and he claims that Brendan Rodgers is setting big targets for when he does return to Anfield.

"[Rodgers] wants me to become one of the best players in the world," Origi told L'Equipe. "What I have experienced so far is amazing. Liverpool wanted me immediately but I still have to work.

"Steven Gerrard told me it was a shame I could not be here immediately, and they were expecting me with patience. I also met Daniel Sturridge – that was nice.

"Liverpool followed me for a long time. When I was in the offices, they showed me my caps when I was under 15. Everyone knows me, I could not believe it."

Origi scored six goals in 35 games for Lille last season.
