Origi joined AC Milan after his Liverpool contract expired last season. The 28-year-old Belgian forward scored 41 goals in 175 appearances for Liverpool and gained recognition for scoring some crucial goals for the club.
In particular Liverpool fans fondly remember him for his goals against Barcelona in the Champions League comeback, the freak goal against Everton and the Champions League winner.
