Fulham are ready to splash out on Liverpool striker Divock Origi.

The Sun says Cottagers boss Claudio Ranieri is ready to pay £15million for Origi.

Ranieri has been given money to strengthen his struggling side and hopes to agree a fee for Anfield fringe man Origi, 23, this week.

The Belgian scored a last-gasp winner in last month's Merseyside derby at Anfield, but he will be allowed to leave if the deal is right as his first-team chances are slim.

Fulham will have to throw big money at Origi as he has other interested clubs on his trail — and the Cottagers, one off the foot of the Premier League table, are staring at relegation.

However, owner Shahid Khan is willing to spend again and will let Ranieri strengthen in four or five areas of his squad.
