Rodgers: Liverpool in regular contact with Divock Origi

Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers says they're in constant contact with Divock Origi as he turns out for Lille on-loan this season.

Origi is in regular contact with the Reds' staff as he prepares to make the switch to Anfield next summer.

"He's a wonderful talent," Rodgers said.

"I get all of his games downloaded from our recruitment team. We're in contact, which is great, and we're helping him with his game.

"He's a big talent for someone so young and we're looking at aspects of his game.

"When he plays in France, we get a download of the game here, analyse that and then feedback to him on areas he can improve in the game and what he's doing very, very well, so when he comes into here next summer he's prepared and we know the areas of his game that are his strengths.

"Hopefully in this time, he can improve in other areas."
