Liverpool have had a rollercoaster of a season so far. We’ve seen injury and illness, spectacular victories and humiliating defeats. Rotation has been the aim of the game throughout the campaign. One man has failed to impress in his sporadic opportunities. Harvey Elliott should replace Divock Origi in the Liverpool squad next season.

Schedule means shots

The hectic schedule this season has forced Jürgen Klopp to rotate his side.

The boss has handed out opportunities to a number of players as spots open up due to illness and injury.

Rhys Williams and Nat Phillips have been afforded surprise runs in the side.

Divock Origi has also been handed a number of starts for the Reds.

Divock Origi headed out

This season has forced the sad realisation that Divock Origi’s time at Liverpool is up.

The 25-year-old is a club legend, he always will be.

He is a cult hero thanks to his massive goals in massive games.

However, we can’t keep pretending that he has any future at the club when he consistently fails to show up for his sporadic chances in the first team.

He’ll want to stake a claim for a spot in the Belgian national side in future, he’ll need to leave in order to do so.

Liverpool will be expecting to make a healthy profit on the £10m they paid for him in 2014.

Harvey Elliott can replace Divock Origi

When the Belgian is inevitably sold, the Reds needn’t look far for his replacement.

Harvey Elliott can replace Divock Origi in the Liverpool squad.

The 17-year-old has been in phenomenal form for Blackburn Rovers in the Championship this season.

The teenager joined the Rovers on loan on deadline day and has been a leading creative force for the second tier side.

The Reds could save millions by promoting the wonderkid. He won’t be called upon often but he will provide a bright spark when he is afforded an opportunity.

The kid is the real deal, we should show faith in him.
