Divock Origi has emerged as the standout performer among the young talents at Lille, earning the title of revelation of the year. The Belgian sensation, experiencing his inaugural full season among professionals, symbolizes the future of football in the Northern region of France. Lille’s strategy hinges on nurturing their young talents to establish themselves at the highest echelons of the sport. At just 19 years old, Origi, of Kenyan descent, has already made significant strides, featuring in 25 Ligue 1 matches for LOSC this season, with 10 starts, and notching up five crucial goals.
Currently viewed as a potential star for the Belgian national team, Origi’s development is rapidly progressing. Through dedication and hard work, he stands poised to fulfill his aspirations and don the coveted Belgian Red Devils jersey. While he hasn’t yet been approached by Marc Wilmots, another country has expressed interest.
Reports from Het Laatste Nieuws indicate that Kenya is keen to recruit the promising striker for Harambee Stars. However, Origi, who transitioned from Genk to Lille at the tender age of 15, completed his formative years with the Red Devils, and as per his father, “there is no reason to change.”
