Origi is not a Potter player. His passing and all round game is not close to someone like Maupay. Yes he is fast, strong and clinical in front of goal but he couldn’t drop deep as an No.10 or go our wide (like a Nunez or Edouard) and perform to the level we need. West Ham is a superb fit for him with their style though.
From what little I've seen of him, he is a perfect graham potter type centre forward. he's big, fast and scores goals and wants to get his career going again.
Against Barcelona, when Liverpool won 4-0 he was man of the match, playing in the middle of a front 3. His heat map from that match shows he can definitely drop deep and pull out wide.
For someone his age, he has hardly played, so loads of miles left in his legs.
He's scored an average of a goal every 2.5 matches throughout his career and has outscored his xG in that time.
For that price and with his pedigree, I would be amazed if we haven't made discreet enquiries.
