# Virals: West Ham discover £25million asking price for Divock Origi

[West Ham](https://readwestham.com/2021/12/20/virals-west-ham-make-move-to-sign-khvicha-kvaratskhelia/) have been heavily linked with a move for Liverpool striker [Divock Origi](https://readwestham.com/2021/12/08/alex-crook-tips-west-ham-to-revisit-interest-in-divock-origi/) in recent weeks and may now know the fee required.

The Hammers are expected to [strengthen their strikeforce](https://www.whufc.com/teams/first-team/squad) in January in order to supplement talismanic forward Michail Antonio.

Despite remaining on the periphery of matters on Merseyside, Origi [continues to produce](https://www.sofascore.com/player/divock-origi/190399) in the big moments when called upon.

Recently a report from the [Express](https://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/1537957/Liverpool-transfer-news-West-Ham-Divock-Origi-latest-gossip) claimed that the Irons were weighing up a bid when the mid-season window opens.

According to a report from [The Times](https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/divock-origi-liverpools-cult-hero-is-happy-to-be-a-bit-part-man-ndphmjk9d), Liverpool will demand £25million for the 26-year-old.

So far this season the [31-cap](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/divock-origi/nationalmannschaft/spieler/148368/verein_id/3382) Belgian ace has [scored five times and provided two assists](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/divock-origi/leistungsdaten/spieler/148368) in 10 appearances.

David Moyes could perform a double swoop from the Reds as the Scot also [considers a move](https://www.claretandhugh.info/hammers-board-wait-om-moyes/) for central defender Nat Phillips.

### READ WEST HAM VERDICT

Valued at £10.8million ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/divock-origi/marktwertverlauf/spieler/148368)), paying the mooted £25million asking price would be somewhat over the odds for the frontman.

As a player, Origi ticks plenty of [likeable boxes](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/124688/Show/Divock-Origi) for Moyes’ side. Powerful, athletic and having scored on the biggest of stages, there is certainly plenty to entice the Irons to the proposed move.

However, at the mooted price a January transfer seems unlikely and the move for a [£15million rated](https://theathletic.com/news/liverpool-transfer-nat-phillips-latest/bOqVwpgFllsN/) Phillips seems a far more realistic prospect.
