# Liverpool: Fans encouraged by idea of Divock Origi and Ozan Kabak swap

**Many Liverpool fans were elated by reports that the Reds are considering swapping Divock Origi with Schalke defender Ozan Kabak.**

The 25-year-old forward has been heavily linked with a move away from Anfield, with Wolves being named as one of the interested parties.

But with Jurgen Klopp’s side currently going through a horrendous injury crisis, with no established centre-backs available for selection, Liverpool are apparently arranging a swap deal that could involve the 6 foot centre forward leaving Anfield.

According to Sky Germany (via [Liverpool Echo](https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/liverpool-transfer-news-wijnaldum-live-19527362)), the Merseysiders are prepared to offer Schalke a swap deal for Kabak to bolster their defensive line, as their Premier League title challenge nears the halfway point.

Unsurprisingly, these supporters were pleased with the report and pleaded with the club to get the move done next month.
