Former Everton boss Sam Allardyce says Newcastle would be a good move for Liverpool striker Divock Origi.

Having recently appointed Eddie Howe, the ex-Bournemouth boss may be given plenty of money to spend in January, following their takeover by a Saudi-backed consortium last month.

Allardyce told Sport Bible: "I've always thought Origi needs to leave Liverpool.

“And budget-wise, he'd probably be a lot cheaper than a Harry Kane, for example.

“Even though he's done a brilliant job for Liverpool, he needs to be a first-team player every week and perhaps Newcastle could give him that opportunity to flourish."
