According to reports in Belgium, Origi has signed a five-year contract at Anfield after passing his medical on Friday.

As part of the deal the 19-year-old will return to Ligue 1 outfit Lille for the next year before returning to the Premier League club.

The transfer fee for the striker, who hit five goals in his breakthrough Ligue 1 season, is expected to be £10m.

Confirmation of the deal is set to be announced by the Merseyside club and Origi is expected to be at Lille's training ground on Monday.

It was reported by Spanish newspaper Marca yesterday that Atletico Madrid were looking to hijack Liverpool's deal for Belgium's surprise World Cup hit.

However Liverpool appear to have seen off that interest and completed the deal with little hassle.

Origi featured several times for his country in Brazil, and scored in their 1-0 win over Russia which helped Belgium qualify for the knockout stages.

Liverpool have already signed Rickie Lambert, Adam Lallana, Emre Can and Lazar Markovic this summer.
