Mignolet hails potential of Liverpool signing Origi

Liverpool goalkeeper Simon Mignolet is backing Divock Origi for big things at Anfield.

The young striker has been signed by the Reds, but is spending the season on-loan at Lille.

"He is a very exciting player and a huge prospect, and he will have one more year with Lille," Mignolet enthused to Liverpoolfc.com.

"I'm sure that after that he'll play very well for Liverpool. He's got a huge future ahead of him. I wish him all the best this season and hopefully we'll see him soon.

"When we arrived with the Belgium squad, nobody had really heard about him to be honest. He played at Lille but had never been called up for the full squad, just the U21s."
