Former AC Milan captain Massimo Ambrosini believes Divock Origi can be a success with the Rossonero.

Origi moved to Milan from Liverpool last summer, but has battled for minutes so far this season.

However, Ambrosini told Tuttosport: "There was an opportunity given his expiring contract and it was rightly exploited.

"Origi is a serious boy, suitable for the way Milan wants to play. (Stefano) Pioli wants a centre-forward who scores goals, even difficult in acrobatics and at the last minute can use him with (Olivier) Giroud or in his place.

"It is certainly a topic that will have to be considered in the future, but it does not concern Origi because he, at Liverpool with (Roberto) Firmino, was useful even without playing as a centre-forward."
