# Wolves: Old Gold backed to sign Divock Origi this summer

**[Wolves](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/wolves-news/) should complete the signing of [Liverpool](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/liverpool-fc-news/) striker Divock Origi in the summer transfer window, according to journalist Josh Holland.**

### The Lowdown: Origi set to leave

The 27-year-old will leave the Reds at the end of the season, having enjoyed a memorable career at Anfield over the years.

Origi has become a cult hero on Merseyside, scoring some iconic [Premier League](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league-news/) and Champions League goals against the likes of Barcelona, Tottenham and Everton, in addition to being [hailed](https://tbrfootball.com/a-monster-jurgen-klopp-praises-divock-origi-for-his-aerial-ability/) as a ‘monster’ by Jurgen Klopp.

Wolves have been [linked](https://www.givemesport.com/1804624-molineux-transfer-news-wolves-like-the-look-of-10m-epl-attacker) with a move for the forward in the past few months as Bruno Lage looks for summer reinforcements.

### The Latest: Journalist backs Wolves move for Origi

Speaking to [GiveMeSport](https://www.givemesport.com/88003280-wolves-64-goal-icon-would-be-perfect-signing-at-molineux), Holland talked up the idea of Wolves signing Origi, claiming that the Belgian would be superior to current Old Gold marksman Raul Jimenez, who has netted [54 goals](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/raul-jimenez/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/206040/verein/543) for the club.

The reporter stated:

> “I think he’s better than Jimenez. If they can bring Origi in and have him starting as their number nine going forward, I think that would be perfect.
>
> “I think he is quality and has an eye for goal. He is always in the right place at the right time.”

### The Verdict: Seems highly unlikely

Origi would be an excellent signing for Wolves, given the pedigree he possesses and the fact that he is still at a good point in his career age-wise.

Although he [hasn’t started](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/divock-origi/leistungsdaten/spieler/148368) a single Premier League game this term, he still has [six goals in just 572 minutes](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/divock-origi/leistungsdaten/spieler/148368) of football across all competitions. That equates to one every 95.3 minutes, illustrating his predatory goal-poaching nature.

Sadly, it looks [likely](https://www.calciomercato.it/2022/04/25/calciomercato-origi-milan-contratto-liverpool-parametro-zero-klopp/) that the Belgian will be joining AC Milan instead at the end of the season, with the Rossoneri guaranteeing him Champions League football.

However, if Origi has a sudden change of heart and wants to remain in the Premier League, then Wolves should do all they can to acquire his services.
