Liverpool striker Divock Origi says he signed a new deal after listening to his "gut".

Origi says "a gut feeling" told him to stay at Liverpool and the striker is ready to kick on from the Champions League-winning goals which changed his life.

The 24-year-old did not start a Premier League game last season before December and could have left Anfield in January.

"I just sat down and I felt like I wanted to stay and help this team," he said.

"I felt good, I just had to keep performing in training and I knew my chance would come. I felt like we could do something special.

"I just had to block everything out on the outside and focus on the right things. In football you never know 100%, it could have gone another way as well but that's the choice I made."
