West Ham transfer news: 'Big possibility' Irons sign £10.8m attacker, know his agent well

TalkSPORT journalist Alex Crook thinks there is a real chance that Liverpool forward Divock Origi could move to West Ham in the final days of the transfer window.

The 26-year-old has struggled for game time this season at Anfield, and could now be moved on following the latest developments on Merseyside.

Liverpool already have a formidable front line, with Jurgen Klopp able to call upon Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane, Diogo Jota and Roberto Firmino to cover the front three positions.

Competition for these roles could be about to get stiffer as Porto's Luis Diaz is reportedly closing in on a move to the club.

This could make it even more difficult for Origi, who has not started a league game in 2021/22, to get into the team.

As a result, it has been claimed that Liverpool are willing to listen to offers from potential suitors for the £10.8m-rated attacker.

Origi is represented by football agent Will Salthouse, who has done plenty of business with West Ham over the years. 

Crook feels that this link between Salthouse and West Ham could be enough to get a deal over the line for Origi.

He told GIVEMESPORT: “There’s a connection there, Will Salthouse is Origi’s agent. I think he took over his contract fairly recently, as in the last year or so, and there’s a big connection between West Ham and Will Salthouse, they tend to do a lot of signings through him.

“So, I’ve always thought that Origi is a big possibility for West Ham.”

Origi has never been the main man at Liverpool, but he has still chipped in with some vital contributions over the years, including scoring in the Champions League semi-finals and final when the team lifted the European Cup in
