Tottenham, Liverpool battle for Lille striker Divock Origi

Tottenham and Liverpool are chasing Lille striker Divock Origi.

The London Evening Standard says Spurs are keen on signing the forward, who scored Belgium's winner against Russia yesterday and at 19 fits the criteria of emerging talent that Spurs chairman Daniel Levy craves.

New manager Mauricio Pochettino is keen to improve the strike force at White Hart Lane and is prepared to offload Emmanuel Adebayor and Roberto Soldado.

However Liverpool, who have already bought Rickie Lambert from Southampton this summer, are also in the hunt as they look to build a squad capable of competing in the Champions League as well as the three domestic competitions.
