Liverpool fans laud 26-year-old for setting up scholarships to empower young people

Following the news that Liverpool star Divock Origi has set up a scholarship at University of Liverpool, Reds fans took to the internet to praise him. The 26-year-old Belgian striker said he set up the charity to "empower young people to achieve great things." His comments have understandably gone down well with the Reds fans.

Shortly after an article detailing the amazing charity work done by the striker for the community, fans took to Twitter to have their say. Here is a selection of the fan reactions from the social media network:

Origi was already a fan favorite at the club. Some of his most famous moments for Liverpool include deciding goals against Barcelona in the Champions League semi-final in 2019.

The striker has only improved his relationship with the fans with his donation. Origi will hope to add more special moments to the pitch as Liverpool hope to continue achieving sporting success.


Divock Origi could leave Liverpool for AC Milan this summer: Reports

According to recent reports, Divock Origi wants a move to AC Milan at the end of the season, despite other offers. He's also reportedly been targeted by other clubs.

Opportunities have been hard to come by for the Belgian star at Anfield, and he has played just 14 games in all competitions this season. With the star nearing the end of his contract, there is little chance that the Reds will work towards an extension. His contract ends in the summer and it looks likely he will leave.

Due to the abundance of players in his position, Origi has fallen down the pecking order. He would have a better chance of continuing his career elsewhere. He is just 26 years old, which gives him time to rejuvenate his career and choose his future. He will look to settle down at a club that can offer him more playing time.

Origi has gained legendary status with the Reds, thanks to his ability to impact the game as a substitute. While Origi might not have a lot to contribute at Anfield due to an abundance of attacking options, he could certainly be a good fit for the Rossonerri.

The Reds already have Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane, Diogo Jota, Roberto Firmino and Takumi Minamino. They also signed Luis Diaz from Porto in January which pushed Origi further down the pecking order.
