5 Premier League loanees who could shine in 2018

Big chance
Origi joined Bundesliga side Wolfsburg on deadline day - he's netted five goals and created one assist since

Divock Origi is a great example of a talented player, one who'll be playing with a point to prove in 2018. Loaned out to Bundesliga side VfL Wolfsburg last summer, the Liverpool forward netted 11 goals across all competitions but struggled for regular minutes and the same issue would have occurred again had he remained at Anfield this season.

Instead, he's ventured abroad for first-team action and is currently plying his trade in Germany - with five goals to his name after 18 appearances, it has been a beneficial experience for the Belgian striker.

With aspirations to make it into Belgium's World Cup squad, he'll need to remain consistent between now and the rest of the current campaign - not least if he wants to impress Jurgen Klopp and his coaching staff enough for a genuine attacking role in his plans next term as an additional option alongside Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino.
