Premier League trio seek deadline day deal for former Liverpool hero as Vincent Kompany’s Burnley battle Fulham and Nottingham Forest for late signing of former Reds striker Divock Origi
Burnley, Nottingham Forest and Fulham are looking at a late deal for AC Milan‘s Divock Origi.
The former Liverpool striker could return to the Premier League after a fairly unsuccessful spell in Serie A.
He has struggled for game time after picking up a succession of injuries.
AC Milan have been in the market for a striker this transfer window and have been heavily linked with a move for Porto’s Mehdi Taremi.
Therefore, Origi could be allowed to depart as Premier League trio Burnley, Nottingham Forest and Fulham are seeking a late deal.

Vincent Kompany’s Burnley could snatch a late deal for the Belgian forward on deadline day
Fulham saw star striker Aleksandar Mitrovic depart the club as the forward joined Al-Hilal in Saudia Arabia early this summer.
While Raul Jimenez arrived at Craven Cottage from Wolves, Marco Silva’s side could still add another striker with Origi.
Burnley may hold an advantage with Belgian legend Vincent Kompany at the helm at Turf Moor.
Origi and Kompany are former teammates at the national team and could link up once more as Burnley look to reinforce their attacking options.
