Jurgen Klopp intends to keep hold of Liverpool striker Divock Origi for the rest of the season.

The Belgium international has been linked with Premier League rivals Wolves, West Ham and Fulham since the January window opened.

However, following the decision to sell Dominic Solanke to Bournemouth for £19million, the Reds boss is reluctant to lose another frontman as he looks to keep their title challenge on track.

Barring a change of heart, Origi will remain at Anfield until May as back up, along with Daniel Sturridge, for Roberto Firmino and Mohamed Salah.

Liverpool value Origi at around £20million and had been open to offers for the 23-year-old, who has scored 23 goals in 81 appearances for the club.

Jurgen Klopp praises the professionalism & patience of Divock Origi

However, he has forced his way back into Klopp's plans since coming off the bench to score a dramatic winner in last month's Merseyside derby at Anfield.

Origi, who spent last term on loan at Wolfsburg, marked his second start of the season with a sweet strike in Monday's 2-1 defeat to Wolves in the FA Cup.

He had the opportunity to move to Molineux on a permanent basis last July after a fee of £22million plus add-ons was agreed but he opted to stay at Anfield.

Origi, whose contract expires in the summer of 2020, was also the subject of interest from Borussia Dortmund in August but they wanted a loan deal when Liverpool would only sanction a permanent transfer.
