Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers is delighted with the form of Divock Origi at Lille.
The young Belgian has been outstanding on-loan with Lille this season.
"It's no good now, I know, but we took a player in Divock Origi who we believe will be world-class," said Rodgers. "We will get him (back from Lille, where he is on loan) next summer. Now he is a top player. He has everything - the speed, the profile and so on.
"But we couldn't bring him in now and that was unfortunate because he can run in behind, he can keep the ball, press and run but that was part of the deal. There were very few top-class forwards who were available. Mario was a calculated gamble we had to try and work with."
