Divock Origi Linked with Loan Return to Premier League

Sheffield United are reportedly considering the possibility of bringing Divock Origi back to the Premier League on loan. The former Liverpool player joined Milan last year but could now make a temporary move to the Blades.

Struggling Start for Sheffield United

Sheffield United has had a disappointing start to their Premier League campaign after being promoted from the Championship last season. They suffered a 1-0 home defeat to Crystal Palace in their opening game and a 2-1 loss at Nottingham Forest on Friday.

With just one goal from their first two matches, it is clear that Paul Heckingbottom’s team needs more firepower in their attack, especially after the sale of Iliman Ndiaye to Marseille.

Sheffield United’s Interest in Origi

According to SunSport, Sheffield United is exploring the possibility of signing Divock Origi on loan. This potential move comes as a surprise, considering Origi’s successful eight-year spell at Liverpool from 2014 to 2022.

Origi is fondly remembered by Liverpool fans as a cult hero, known for scoring crucial goals, including those in the 2019 Champions League semi-final against Barcelona and the final against Tottenham.

If the loan deal goes through, Sheffield United will undoubtedly hope for a similar impact from Origi.

Conclusion

Bringing Divock Origi back to the Premier League on loan could be a significant boost for Sheffield United. The Belgian striker’s experience and goal-scoring ability would provide the team with much-needed firepower in their attack. Origi’s previous success at Liverpool makes him an attractive option for the Blades.

However, it remains to be seen whether a deal can be reached between Sheffield United and Milan. The loan move would need to benefit all parties involved, including Origi himself.

As the Premier League season progresses, it will be interesting to see if Sheffield United can secure the services of Divock Origi and whether he can make a positive impact on their campaign.
