Liverpool will welcome a player who possesses everything you want from a striker when Divock Origi joins the club next month, according to Simon Mignolet.

The 20-year-old will make the permanent move to Anfield this summer, having spent last season on loan with Lille following his agreement with the Reds.

Origi has built on a breakthrough World Cup campaign with Belgium in 2014 to further add to his burgeoning reputation this term, scoring eight goals in Ligue 1.

Mignolet, who has seen the forward up close in training with the national team, believes his compatriot will continue to flourish when he arrives on Merseyside.

"He's only young but on the other side he's also quite experienced, having played in Ligue 1 in France and with the Belgian national team," he told the official Liverpool FC magazine.

"He's got a lot of ability, he is quick and can score a goal and he is willing to work for the team and put pressure on defences.

"He's got a great attitude, so what more do you want? I am looking forward to when he is going to join."

Mignolet also promised to do all he can to ensure that Origi settles into life in England quickly next season.

"I remember when I was younger and first came over to England, it was important to have someone at Sunderland like Bolo Zenden who spoke my language," he explained.

"I'm always ready to do that with anyone who comes into the team, and obviously being Belgian it should help Divock.

"I've helped a few guys in the past because I speak a fair few languages and I know when you come into a new side and a new country it's not always easy to settle.

"It's nice for me, too, to have a compatriot coming into the team. It means that I won't be the only Belgian anymore so it will be easier for me to fight my corner!"
