Both top-flights outfits are understood to be interested in landing the highly rated Belgium Under-21 international when the summer transfer window does finally reopen for business at the start of July.

And as a result, the Gunners and the Merseysiders have each sent their scouts over to Northern France in recent weeks to run their eye over the 18-year-old attacking starlet who is currently making all the headlines back in Ligue 1 after a recent run of form in front of goal for his club.

Origi only broke through into the Lille first team in the previous campaign after catching the eye playing for the Ligue 1 side’s B team, with the striker managing to net one goal last time around.

However, this campaign the Belgium has scored six times in total in all competitions, five of which have come in the league in his 25 outings.
