Liverpool striker 'agrees terms' with AC Milan
Divock Origi's eight-season spell at Liverpool looks to be drawing to a close after the Belgian striker 'agreed terms' on a deal to join AC Milan, according to reports.
The 26-year-old is out of contract at the end of the season and with no guarantee of regular first team football - nor seemingly a new offer on the table - the Italian club appear to have landed their man with suggestions a deal in principle has been sealed.

Despite never being able to hold down a regular first team place in Liverpool's ultra-competitive forward line, Origi's knack for scoring on the big occasion has seen his name etched into Anfield folklore.

Liverpool already have a tried and tested Trent Alexander-Arnold replacement
Liverpool were given an injury-scare before the March international break when Jurgen Klopp confirmed Trent Alexander-Arnold had picked up a hamstring injury. The only player in the Reds squad without a natural, senior replacement, the timing could not have been worse heading towards a make-or-break month for the club’s quadruple hopes.
But having already missed Liverpool’ s FA Cup win over Nottingham Forest, it remains to be seen just how long the defender will be out of action for. Klopp did disclose it would be ‘weeks’ rather than months when speaking at his latest pre-match press conference, but he was unable to offer any further update.
Withdrawn from international duty, the right-back has posted updates on his social media of him working hard during the break as he looks to return to fitness as quickly as possible. A positive sign at least, it would appear the 23-year-old won’t be out of action for long.
