Divock Origi excited to play for Liverpool boss Rodgers

Lille striker Divock Origi is looking forward to joining Liverpool this summer.

Origi has spent the season on-loan in France.

The 20-year-old said: "I feel that I will get my chance at Liverpool. They really believe that I can reach the very top.

"Brendan Rodgers said that I can become a world-class player. That is pleasing to hear.

"I can feel the manager has a lot of confidence in me, and that is incredibly important. Look at the relationship Eden Hazard has with Jose Mourinho.

"A coach is also a mentor to you, and I had a similar relationship with Belgium's manager Marc Wilmots at the World Cup last summer.

"Now I hope for the same with Rodgers at Liverpool."
