West Ham boss David Moyes actually tried to bring Origi to the London Stadium before he moved to Milan.

The Hammers missed out then, but we could go back in for Origi it seems…

West Ham eyeing Divock Origi swoop

The 27-year-old AC Milan hitman could be set for a return to the Premier League with West Ham according to a report from Calciomercato.it.

I think that Origi would be a really useful addition to Moyes’s ranks at the London Stadium this summer.

The Belgian would certainly offer us a threat that we currently don’t really possess.

He can play anywhere along the front-line, is willing to put in a real shift and has proven that he can produce the goods at the very highest level.

Origi scored a goal in the Champions League final back in 2019 so he certainly knows how to perform on the biggest stage.

The AC Milan hitman possesses a real burst of acceleration and perhaps if he was given the chance of regular game-time at West Ham, everyone would undoubtedly have started to see the best of the Belgian. Origi bagged six goals and four assists in just 18 games for the Reds last season (Transfermarkt).

The former Lille ace is proven at the very highest level.

And if West Ham have a chance to bring Divock Origi back to the Premier League this summer, it should bear an absolute no-brainer for Moyes.
