Liverpool's Divock Origi transfer stance as Mason Mount decision made

Liverpool reasserted pressure on their title rivals with a 4-0 win over Arsenal on Saturday.

The victory put an end to a mini run of disappointing results, having dropped four points in their previous two league games.

However, Jurgen Klopp had several injuries to contend with prior to the game, with limited midfield options available and Diogo Jota also being substituted off through injury.

Here’s a roundup of the latest names being touted as possible reinforcements for Liverpool ’s title bid.

Mason Mount

Chelsea are apparently confident they have reached a “breakthrough” in their ongoing contract talks with Mason Mount.

The England midfielder had been rumoured by the Daily Star to be an unlikely target for Liverpool, after not “feeling appreciated” by Chelsea.

However, Football Insider reports that the club’s contract offer will “now be accepted” after reaching an agreement.

The report also suggests that Liverpool would have faced significant competition for his signature, with Man City, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich also credited with interest in the 22-year-old.

What?

West Ham are set to challenge Liverpool for Sparta Prague striker Adam Hlozek, according to reports.

The 19-year-old was previously linked with a move to the Reds this summer, but now face added competition from David Moyes’ side, who also signed Thomas Soucek and Vladimir Coufal from the Czech league.

The Czech Republic international scored 15 in 19 games for Sparta Prague last season and has registered four goals and eight assists so far this term.

Football Insider claim that West Ham are “intensifying their pursuit” for Hlozek ahead of the January transfer window.

Who?

Divock Origi

Where?

Northern Echo

What?

The Northern Echo claim that the Liverpool striker will not be joining Newcastle United in January.

Origi had been linked with a move to Newcasle, after the same publication had suggested that Eddie Howe regarded the forward as a potential loan option.

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has previously said he thought the 26-year-old “would leave” in the summer, but a mid-season exit now looks unlikely according to reports.

The Northern Echo say that Liverpool have “no intention” of letting Origi leave in January due to Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane’s Africa Cup of Nations commitments.
