There is concrete interest from Burnley in signing Divock Origi, a report claims, while AC Milan have already turned down an offer from Torino.
According to the latest from HLN Sport, Origi is hoping to agree a way out of his ‘Milan nightmare’ before the window closes in four days, and Vincent Kompany wants his compatriot at Burnley with both a loan-with-option and a permanent deal possible
Burnley will push for an agreement in the coming days, but must bear in mind that Milan already refused an offer from Torino which included an initial loan with option to buy.
There is also interest from Saudi Arabia for Origi from Al Fateh, Jason Denayer’s club. They have enquired about the operation, but Origi seems to prefer the idea of staying in Europe.
He also has one eye on the European Championship next summer, meaning he is looking for a good project in which he can get more playing time and grow back to his best form.
Ohhhhh Kompany come take your former international teammate ple.
Origi, for the love of god don’t let your ego get in the way of this move. The manager knows you well, you’ll be back in the EPL and you’ll likely gey plenty of minutes.
It’s time for your incredible era at San Siro to end. We will remember you alongside Sheva, Weah and van Basten as a truly great striker. Now please f off
As La Gazzetta dello Sport writes, there are also the other six signings that have arrived during the current window who are yet to make a start. What are the prospects for those who have collected few or no minutes so far?
Samuel Chukwueze: Right now he’s a reserve because he’s still behind Pulisic from a condition point of view, in addition to the fact the American is having an excellent start to the season.
The Nigerian has played 41 minutes so far in two substitute appearances and what is clear is that he is the one with the greatest prospect of continued use, given his quality and the investment made to sign him.
Yunus Musah: It is easy to identify him as Pioli’s potential first choice when Loftus-Cheek or Reijnders need to catch their breath a bit. He has one substitute appearance, amassing 23 minutes, having been banned for the first game.
Noah Okafor: Here we enter the realm of question marks. And certainly not because the player’s technical value is in doubt, but because for now there is still a slight mystery surrounding whether he is a winger or a centre-forward.
The Swiss international can play both roles, but on the left side there is Leao and down the middle there is Giroud plus the potential a deputy to the Frenchman will arrive. If Mehdi Taremi came, it would be likely he is diverted to the left, after two substitute appearances so far with 41 minutes.
