Although the young Belgium international is yet to truly establish himself down at Anfield this season, Liverpool’s Divock Origi certainly looks like he could one day blossom into a truly meaningful talent for the Reds.

The current attacking options available to Jurgen Klopp have been limited throughout the 2015/16 campaign. Roberto Firmino is seemingly yet to find his feet in the ever testing English top-flight, each of Danny Ings, Philippe Coutinho and Christian Benteke have suffered with their own respective injury concerns this season and the once formidable Daniel Sturridge sadly spends more time in the treatment room than out on the pitch. Reds fans could be forgiven for partially losing hope over their recent situation.

However, as Origi has nonetheless begun his Anfield career in more than promising form, perhaps all Kopites really need at this particular stage is just a little bit of good old-fashioned faith. At 20-years-of-age, this young striker could very well help Jurgen Klopp out when it comes to scoring important goals across 2015/16 – which would only signal positive steps for the club as they look to re-establish their dominance in the English game

So then, have the Anfield faithful genuinely discovered a newfound hero in the shape of Divock Origi, or does the emerging talent ultimately represent little more than an average Premier League striker at best?

Well, as Origi only has one solitary league goal to his name so far this term, now is no time to be getting carried away with the striker’s potential talent. Liverpool fans have experienced many false dawns when it comes to ambitious transfer signings in the past – and as the 20-year-old Belgian was indeed signed under the supervision of Brendan Rodgers at Anfield – the context behind his recent move may not prove all that exciting in the cold light of day.

Yet as the up and coming striker successfully saved Liverpool’s blushes last time out against West Brom – after subsequently playing a huge role in his side’s 6-1 destruction of Southampton in the League Cup this month – Reds supporters do admittedly have reason to be excited over the future exploits of Origi, even if they must remain relatively muted at this current moment in time.

After arguably outshining Everton’s Romelu Lukaku throughout the duration of the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, Liverpool seemingly pulled off a great deal when they completed the initial move for Origi two summers ago. But after failing to impress whilst back on loan at Lille last season, a few testing question-marks were nonetheless pointed in the direction of the young Anfield man.

In the end, it remains yet to be seen whether or not the former Ligue 1 favourite has what it takes to make it in the Premier League. £10m was a rather significant amount to splash out on a largely untested talent of course, and if Origi consequently fails to adjust to the often gruelling nature of the English top-flight the Anfield faithful may be forced to accept yet another expensive calamity from their side in the transfer market.

As Jurgen Klopp is seemingly the perfect manager to help restore some much needed belief within the younger players down at Liverpool this season, however, it seems as if all the right components are in-fact in place to make Origi’s spell within the Premier League a rather successful one. We have already seen what the young Belgian striker is capable of when playing at full confidence this term, and although his outings have admittedly been relatively brief so far, the future looks positive for Origi.

It’s going to take a sustained period of time for the young star to really make a name for himself in England, however, and Reds fans would ultimately be naïve in expecting any immediate results from the Belgian centre-forward this season. But with a fair helping of well-measured patience from the collective Anfield faithful in general – maybe the good times are just waiting around the corner for Divock Origi at this specific stage.
