Liverpool are apparently considered front-runners in the pursuit of highly-rated Lille forward Divock Origi.

The talented youngster has been linked with a switch to the Premier League in recent weeks, with the likes of Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur monitoring his progress.

Latest reports reveal that the 19-year-old, who scored the winner for Belgium against Russia at the World Cup, is considered as a top transfer target for Liverpool, who are set to make an opening bid to secure his services this summer.

Origi scored six goals in 35 appearances for Lille in all competitions last season.
