Divock Origi: Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers wants me to be among the world's best

Divock Origi: Spending the season back on loan at Lille after joining Liverpool

Liverpool summer signing Divock Origi says manager Brendan Rodgers hopes to see him develop into one of the world’s best players.

The 19-year-old, who shot to prominence at the World Cup with Belgium, made a £10million switch to Anfield earlier this summer but was immediately loaned back to Ligue 1 as part of the deal.

Liverpool were reported to have beaten the likes of Tottenham, Arsenal and Atletico Madrid to Origi’s signature, and were hopeful of him linking up with the squad immediately.

Instead, Lille were keen to get another season out of the young striker and he will concentrate his efforts with them for the new campaign after a whirlwind couple of months.

Although he is staying focused on the season ahead with Lille, Origi admitted to being thrilled by his brief experiences at Liverpool and revealed that Rodgers has high hopes for his career.

"He (Rodgers) wants me to become one of the best players in the world," Origi told L'Equipe.

"What I have experienced so far is amazing. Liverpool wanted me immediately but I still have to work.

"I have been welcomed in the Belgium team. I became friends with Adnan Januzaj.

"The World Cup was amazing for me with that goal scored at the Maracana (against Russia).

"And then Liverpool, when I joined Liverpool I was impressed.

"Steven Gerrard told me it was a shame I could not be here immediately and they were expecting me with patience. I also met Daniel Sturridge – that was nice."

Origi also admitted his surprise at Liverpool’s extensive knowledge of his career to date.

"Liverpool followed me for a long time," he said.

"When I was in the offices, they showed me my caps when I was under 15. Everyone knows me, I could not believe it."

The Belgium international scored six times in 35 appearances for Lille last season, helping them secure a place in the qualifying rounds of the Champions League with a third-place finish.

He said: "Anyway, I am at Lille and only that matters for now. Last season I scored in my very first match in Le Championnat before leaving the first team a bit later, which pushed me to work harder.

"I want to play a lot of matches, adapt more to the team and discover the European Cup."

Transfer news: Liverpool defender Sebastian Coates hoping for Anfield stay

Sebastian Coates: Hoping to impress after returning from injury

Liverpool defender Sebastian Coates says he is hoping to stay and impress at Anfield after returning from injury, but admits the decision may not be down to him.

The 23-year-old, who joined in 2011, failed to make a single Premier League appearance last season as a knee injury kept him sidelined, before returning on loan to former club Nacional in January.

Coates is yet to truly establish himself on Merseyside and has featured just 24 times in all competitions during his three-year stay with the Reds.

The Uruguay international has been linked with a departure this summer following the arrival of Dejan Lovren from Southampton, but he plans on fighting for a place in the side despite the increased competition in defence.

"Last season was really difficult. I had a bad injury and after being out for so long, it's great to be back fit," he told the Liverpool Echo.

"I try always to give my best and I know I need to improve more on the other years that I've been in England.

"The manager is watching me closely - like he is with all the other players - and I need to keep performing well.

"I would like to stay at Liverpool and play, but that doesn't depend only on me. It depends on the manager and the club.

"They will decide what happens. After being out for so long, I need to play. If I do stay I want to play more than I did in the other years."

Uruguay team-mate Luis Suarez has already exited the club to join Barcelona this summer, but Coates insists that move will have no bearing on his own future.

"Just because Luis has gone, that doesn't mean that I want to go," he said.

"He's a different player and a different person. I must take care of my own future."

Liverpool’s Pepe Reina set for £2m Bayern Munich move

Liverpool have agreed a deal thought to be worth £2 million for the sale of Pepe Reina to Bayern Munich, it is being reported on Tuesday night.

Reina has been searching for a new permanent club this summer after returning from a season-long loan spell with Napoli and now looks set to join former Barcelona teammate Pep Guardiola, manager at Bayern.

He was taken on Liverpool’s pre-season tour of the USA, but failed to play a single minute with Simon Mignolet, Brad Jones and youngster Danny Ward named ahead of him.

The 31-year-old Spanish international spent eight seasons at Liverpool under Rafa Benitez, Roy Hodgson, Kenny Dalglish and Brendan Rodgers, before Mignolet was brought in to replace him.

He made 395 appearances for the Reds since his move from Villarreal in 2006, playing his last game against QPR in May 2013— also Jamie Carragher’s final game for the club.

Having been angling for a move to Barcelona for some time, Reina penned a goodbye letter to fans upon leaving Liverpool for his loan spell at Napoli, burning all bridges with Rodgers.

Nevertheless, Reina was a popular figure on Merseyside and leaves with plenty of passionate memories.

Thanks for everything, Pepe. You’ll Never Walk Alone.

Change of access at Anfield due to stadium expansion

When Liverpool fans arrive at Anfield for Sunday’s final friendly, against Borussia Dortmund, and indeed the first game of the season to Southampton a week later, there will be something missing – the houses behind the Main Stand!

Demolition on the empty houses on Lothair Road immediately behind the Main Stand started at the beginning of the summer and the final house was demolished last week. The work is being carried out by the City council ahead of Liverpool’s proposed stadium expansion.

There’s also a large area in the Main Stand / Kop corner that has been cleared ready for work to begin, pencilled in for late 2014 / early July 2015. Meanwhile, demolition will continue to the houses on the other side of Lothair Road and the closes side of Alory Road, plus a small number on Anfield Road and Rockfield Road.

Due to this, changes have been made to access roads around Anfield and Liverpool have released the following information.

Important Changes for Fans Accessing Anfield Stadium on Matchdays

- Anfield regeneration work continues – housing demolition means changes to some pedestrian routes in and around Anfield Stadium

- No pedestrian access is permitted on Rockfield Road, Back Rockfield Road or Lothair Road

- Access via car, bus and taxi will not be affected and will remain as per last season

- Routine road closures prior to kick-off remain as per last season

- Changes to take place starting from Sunday 10th August 2014, Liverpool FC Vs Borussia Dortmund.

Fans making their way to Anfield can expect to see some significant changes around Anfield stadium as part of the regeneration plan for the area.

The current work and erection of construction hoardings adjacent to the Stadium means that pedestrian access via Rockfield Road, Back Rockfield Road and Lothair Road will no longer be accessible by foot or vehicle. Fans will be rerouted via Anfield Road and Walton Breck Road.

While work is ongoing LFC would like to ask fans for their support by keeping to the designated pedestrian access roads and allow extra time to get to the stadium.

New signage will be positioned around the stadium to direct fans and additional stewards and police officers will be present on matchdays to help reroute pedestrians and vehicles to minimise disruption.

The routine road closures, Walton Breck Road (10 minutes prior to kick-off) Anfield Road (45 minutes prior to kick-off) will remain in place and it is advised that residents with parking permits should continue to clearly display them in their vehicles to allow direct access during matchdays.

Those residents without parking permits travelling to and from their homes on a matchday by taxi are advised to carry some ID which displays their name and address details to show to the matchday stewards, ensuring access is permitted.

There will be no changes to car parking access and facilities, taxi drop off points or key bus services including Merseytravel’s Soccer Bus and 917 services.

The Club is encouraging all fans to plan their route to the stadium in advance of the Borussia Dortmund fixture at Anfield on August 10th and to allow extra time for their journey. All fans are advised to be at the stadium 30 minutes prior to kick-off.

Map and key information on the changes can be found here.

LFC will continue to advise supporters and local residents of any changes that may affect access to Anfield Stadium.
