# Alex Crook tips West Ham to revisit interest in Divock Origi

[West Ham](https://readwestham.com/2021/12/08/virals-west-ham-hold-very-strong-interest-in-efl-ace-jason-knight/) are riding the crest of a wave at present following another huge scalp taken at the London Stadium.

Not content with [cruising through](https://www.uefa.com/uefaeuropaleague/standings/) their Europa League group, the Hammers are currently eyeing up a push for the Premier League top four.

Any hopes of such halcyon days will be tempered however by recent injuries suffered to Angelo Ogbonna and [Kurt Zouma](https://readwestham.com/2021/12/07/virals-west-ham-confirm-double-injury-blow-to-defensive-stars/).

With the [January transfer window](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11095/12489807/january-transfer-window-2022-when-does-it-open-and-close-dates-deadline-day-how-to-follow-with-sky-sports#:~:text=The%20transfer%20window%20opens%20on,on%20Monday%20January%203%2C%202022.) just around the corner, David Moyes could delve into the mid-season market to bolster the squad options.

Speaking to [talkSPORT (Wednesday, December 8](https://talksport.com/radio/schedule/)), journalist Alex Crook suggested that in-form Liverpool ace Divock Origi could be on the radar.

> Divock Origi is somebody I know they looked at in the summer, his agent has a very close connection, should we say, to the West Ham board so that is a transfer I could see happening in January.

So far this season the [31-cap](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/divock-origi/nationalmannschaft/spieler/148368/verein_id/3382) Belgian has [scored five and provided two assists](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/divock-origi/leistungsdaten/spieler/148368) in 10 appearances across all competitions – including a sublime run of form away from Merseyside.

### READ WEST HAM VERDICT

Valued at £10.8million and out of contract at the end of the season ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/divock-origi/marktwertverlauf/spieler/148368)), there is feasibly a possibility Liverpool will look to cash in on their man in January.

One stumbling block could be the involvement of [Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane in the African Cup of Nations](https://talksport.com/football/996140/liverpool-january-signings-mohamed-salah-sadio-mane-afcon/) with Jurgen Klopp reticent to let attacking options depart.

Moyes will no doubt be actively pursuing a [striker to support Michail Antonio](https://www.whufc.com/teams/first-team/squad) next month and waiting for Origi until the Liverpool duo return could be a viable avenue.
