Liverpool confident Divock Origi will sign new long-term contract

Origi is about to enter the final year of his Anfield contract, but has enjoyed one of the more unlikely renaissances in the club's recent history.

Origi netted a 96th-minute winner against Everton in the Merseyside derby, headed a late goal at Newcastle which ensured that the Premier League title race would go down to the last day, scored twice in the unforgettable Anfield comeback against Barcelona and climbed off the bench to wrap up victory in the Champions League final against Tottenham in Madrid.

Even when he hasn't been in the team, Origi is said to have impressed Klopp and Anfield coaches with his attitude in training and his preparation for games.
