Divock Origi, a striker, is set to make a remarkable comeback to the Premier League.

After spending the previous season at AC Milan, West Ham has their sights set on the former Liverpool striker for up to £9 million, according to reports in Italy.

The 28-year-old, who scored two goals in his first season there, is about to finalize a transfer to the Italian club from The Hammers.

Hammers manager David Moyes is lobbying for the signing because it would enable him to release and loan Roma striker Gianluca Scamacca.

The transfer of the Belgian international to the London Stadium would facilitate Scamacca’s reunion with his old team under Jose Mourinho’s leadership.

Along with colleague Ante Rebic, the FA Cup winner for 2021–22 did not travel with AC Milan on their preseason tour of the United States, according to rumors.

Origi makes about £3.5 million each season for the Rossoneri, thus his move to East London would result in a $12 million savings for the team, plus revenue from his sale.

In the next weeks, West Ham hopes to make judicious use of the £105 million it received from Arsenal in exchange for Declan Rice.

Moyes is eager to increase the amount of youth in his starting XI given the enormous new funds for the Hammers this summer.

The victors of the Europa Conference, though, have had difficulty making even one signing this summer.

Fulham has thus far turned down West Ham’s £40 million transfer offer for midfielder Joao Palhinha.

Additionally, The Hammers’ loan request for Manchester United defender Harry Maguire was turned down.

Still, there is hope because West Ham and Tottenham are leading the competition for Chelsea midfielder Conor Gallagher.

According to TalkSport, the East London club is also trying to finalize a deal for Carlos Borges of Manchester City this week for a sum of about £14 million.
