Lille confirm Liverpool target Divock Origi will stay next season
DIVOCK ORIGI looks set to be loaned back to Lille next season should Liverpool get their hands on him.
Tottenham were credited with a strong interest as they seek to bolster their attacking forces.
The Reds have already taken their summer spending to £60million after completing the £20m capture of Lazar Markovic.
But the Reds surged ahead of them and there was speculation that Origi could be loaned back to the Ligue 1 outfit.
And Lille have confirmed this will be the case.
