Mignolet full of praise for top Liverpool target Divock Origi

Liverpool goalkeeper Simon Mignolet has backed their move for Lille striker Divock Origi. The pair are together in Brazil with Belgium's World Cup squad.

"He is very, very good," said Mignolet after the 1-0 win over South Korea.

"The last couple of games he has come in for us, done a great job and changed the game.

"He is a huge prospect, and still only young.

"Today when he came onto the pitch he showed his class and helped us win the game. He is an exciting player."
