Premier League big guns keen to land young striker.
Premier League giants Arsenal, Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur are set to spark a transfer scramble this summer as they all chase young Lille striker Divock Origi, according to the Daily Star.
The 19-year-old scored Belgium’s winner against Russia in the 88th minute of their weekend clash to book the Red Devils’ place in the last 16.
Origi bagged five goals in 38 appearances for the Ligue 1 side last season, but is expected to have a bright future in the game which several Premier League clubs are looking to secure.
According to reports in France, the striker has been extensively scouted by both Liverpool and Arsenal this term following some impressive performances for the French outfit.
Both clubs are keen to add more options to their front lines and will turn to the Belgian starlet as an extra option up front.
However, according in France Arsenal’s near-neighbours and rivals Spurs are also looking to make a move for the player and are preparing a bid to bring him to White Heart Lane as new boss Mauricio Pochettino looks give his squad a much needed makeover during the summer.
Lille are said to be willing to allow Divock to move on in the transfer window for around £8m, but Spurs are said to be keen on opening the bidding at £6m.
