The Reds finished sixth in the top flight in
2014-15, but the striker - who is set to link up
with the club this summer - believes they can
supplant Chelsea next season
Divock Origi says he expects Liverpool to challenge
for the Premier League title next season as he
prepares to link up with the Reds this summer.
Liverpool agreed to sign the Belgium international
in a deal worth close to €13 million from
Lille in
July but immediately loaned him back to the
French club.
Brendan Rodgers' side subsequently finished sixth
but Origi believes his new employers should be
setting their sets higher in 2015-16.
"I think Liverpool is a wonderful club that deserves
to be at the top and, to be honest, with the players
they have, with the quality they have, then they
should be finishing at the top of the league," he
told Sky Sports .
"I'm very happy to be going there. Brendan
Rodgers is a very good coach and he has proved
that so it will be very exciting to work with a world
class coach."
Origi, who scored eight Ligue 1 goals for Lille, also
feels he has made the right decision by choosing
to join the Reds, and believes the club's track
record of developing young players will serve him
well at Anfield.
"Most of all it is important to be at a good club
where people believe in you and where you feel
good and at Liverpool I had a really good feeling
and they have experience of working with young
players," he added.
"It's always nice to play with good players.
"The important thing is that I work hard and then I
think everything will be okay."
