LIVERPOOL goalkeeper Simon Mignolet is looking forward to seeing Belgium team-mate Divock Origi at Anfield next season.
Simon Mignolet looking forward to seeing Divock Origi at Liverpool
Origi, a £10million capture last summer, will return for pre-season with the Reds after being loaned back to his former club Lille.
The 20-year-old striker only scored eight Ligue 1 goals last term, but Mignolet is confident Origi has all the attributes to succeed at Anfield.
"He's only young but on the other side he's also quite experienced, having played in Ligue 1 in France and with the Belgian national team," the Reds stopper said.
I am looking forward to when Divock Origi is going to join
"He's got a lot of ability, he is quick and can score a goal and he is willing to work for the team and put pressure on defences.
"He's got a great attitude, so what more do you want? I am looking forward to when he is going to join."
Liverpool have also bolstered their forward line with the signing of Burnley's Danny Ings, with strikers Mario Balotelli and Fabio Borini expected to be sold in the summer.
