DIVOCK ORIGI is set to leave Nottingham Forest to join LA Galaxy on loan, according to reports.
The striker has had a disastrous spell at the City Ground after failing to find the target in nine matches.
He joined on loan in the summer from AC Milan but that deal is set to be cut short to allow a move to LA Galaxy, report Sky Sports News.
Forest must sanction his departure but they are expected to do so given his struggles.
Reports in Italy claim LA Galaxy’s loan deal for Origi will include an obligation to buy for £4.25million.
Origi’s switch to Forest has proven to be a disaster with Premier League agents ranking the transfer as one of the worst of the summer.

Nuno Espirito Santo’s side are also planning some January business of their own with Wolves goalkeeper Jose Sa targeted.
However, the Portuguese stopper would cost a decent fee and that could scupper a deal because of Forest’s need to comply with Financial Fair Play regulations.
The club is already facing a minimum six-point deduction after being accused of breaching FFP profitability and sustainability rules.
Forest reported an annual loss of £45.6m in their last accounts – but have a defence against the charge.

The club will point to the £47.5m sale of Brennan Johnson to Tottenham in the summer, claiming they would have complied with FFP rules if they had sold the winger to Brentford for £30m earlier in the transfer window.
However, for the club’s sustainability they argue it was better to accept nearly £50m for Johnson in August.
