Liverpool have tried to negotiate with Lille in order to bring Divock Origi back to Anfield this month. The 19-year-old striker is a Reds player but they loaned him back to Lille for the season after buying him for 10 million pounds this summer. "There has been some discussion but there is nothing to report," Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers said. "The agreement was for him to stay there so we will see how that works. If not we have the players here and we will go with what we have got."
Liverpool have serious problems in attack since Daniel Sturridge is a long-term injury absentee while Mario Balotelli and Rickie Lambert only managed to score four goals between them this season. Things are not good at Arsenal either after Mikel Arteta and Mathieu Debuchy have been ruled out for three months each after having surgery. Arteta had a bony spur removed from his left ankle while Debuchy, who just returned from three months out with an ankle injury, had an operation on a shoulder he dislocated during last weekend's win over Stoke.
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger described Debuchy's injury as "unbelievable". "It's very unfortunate," said Wenger. "It's unbelievable because he's had two surgeries in the same season. He just came back, he played seven games and he's out again." About Arteta Wenger explained: "He had limited mobility in his ankle and some persistent inflammation that had an impact on his calf. That meant we had to make the decision to have surgery and it's a proper solution which gives him the best chance to recover."
Liverpool are 13/2 at Bet365 to clinch a top-four Premier League finish this season while Arsenal are 4/9 to end up in the top four.

Ibe is also quality attacker, and with Origi, Sturridge and Sterling, he will make dangerous attack for Liverpool next season. I am sure that this club can improve their situation next season, because in this they have lot of problems in first half of the season. Reds are in the great form right now and if they can maintain...

Reds are in the great form right now and if they can maintain this run, I believe that they could achieve Champions league position next year also

This was exciting transfer windows so far. Real was very active but other clubs do some great transfers too. Origi is great player, he show us how great he can be on World cup playing for Belgium and he continue to play well for Lille too. And Liverpool really need player like that. Without Sturidge Liverpool just don't...

Origi is great player, he show us how great he can be on World cup playing for Belgium and he continue to play well for Lille too. And Liverpool really need player like that. Without Sturidge Liverpool just don't have great striker and that is maybe key of their bad season. I hope that they will buy Origi if not now than on the summer and next season finally attack title in Premier league.

Origi is quality player but for the future, and I don't believe that he will be in Liverpool this winter. Liverpool needs more experience striker, and I am sure that they will try to bring one or maybe even two in the club. Origi will be nice player but in next season, this is too early move for him

Liverpool looking for something to change in their squad because they saw that with this team they won't be in top four Clubs in premier league. But I am not sure that Origi can change anything. And for Arsenal it is shame... But I think that won't affect on their results... they will be in top four and they won't be first.....

But I think that won't affect on their results... they will be in top four and they won't be first.. so this is how they will end this season with or without Arteta and Debuchy.

And about Liverpool. They spent all of their money that they took from selling Luis Suarez to Barcelona and spent it for players that are not that kind of quality like Luis. Luis was that link that was holding whole team together, and because of his charisma they are in UEFA Champions League this year. After he went, they...

Luis was that link that was holding whole team together, and because of his charisma they are in UEFA Champions League this year. After he went, they are three steps behind their last years team.

It's unbelievable that Arsenal every season has so many injury problems. I must say, that is pretty unbelievable for one team that wants trophies every season. They must look in their consulting team, or change their condition coach. As big fan of Arsenal, this is not something that I like to hear. I wish them quick recovery....

Liverpool all ready spent 10 millions for Divock Original so with the crises in their team upfront the most normal thing for them will be to cancel his loan deal and take him back to England. Yes, too much injuries for Arsenal and Arsen Venger but I don't think that all came from their "bad luck". Something in the training...

What a bad luck Wenger has lately. Even these two guys are "not important parts of this team" like kruno said the season in England is very long and all teams want to have more players available in rotation. Also there are some Cup's they are playing in England so I believe that Wenger counted on Debuchy and Arteta. And...

Also there are some Cup's they are playing in England so I believe that Wenger counted on Debuchy and Arteta. And when it comes to Origi and Liverpool, I don't see Origi as very good player. Yes, he is young and have potential to become a good striker, but I don't think that he will be able to help Liverpool. But on the other side, when I see how Liverpool players play this year, maybe even Origi is a good option. :D

It would be right thing if Liverpool get this player back , i watched this guy few games and he is really big potential. He also played good few games he got chance on the world cup , he definitely could do things better that Balotteli and Lambert do . I also think that Arteta and Debuchy even if they leave Arsenal it wouldnt...

I also think that Arteta and Debuchy even if they leave Arsenal it wouldnt do them any harm , they are not important parts of this team .
