Former Liverpool man Divock Origi targeted by Sheffield United for potential Premier League return

The Blades have endured a disappointing start to their Premier League campaign following promotion from the Championship last season.
A 1-0 home defeat to Crystal Palace in their opening game was followed by a 2-1 loss at Nottingham Forest on Friday.
With just one goal from their first two matches, there's a clear feeling that Paul Heckingbottom needs more firepower in his attack, especially after the sale of Iliman Ndiaye to Marseille.
Therefore, according to SunSport, Sheffield United are looking into a shock loan deal for Origi.

The Belgian spent eight years at Liverpool between 2014 and 2022.
Fondly regarded by the fans as a cult hero, Origi was renowned at Anfield for coming up with important goals - none more so than in the 2019 Champions League semi-final against Barcelona, then final against Tottenham.
Sheffield United would no doubt be hoping for a similar impact, were a loan deal to be completed.
