Belgian striker Origi has started just six Serie A games this season.

And Italian outlet Calciomercato claim there are FOUR Prem clubs “ready to knock” on AC Milan’s door in the hope of signing Origi.

Aston Villa, Leeds, Crystal Palace and West Ham are all rumoured to be keen on the 27-year-old.

Elsewhere, Origi has been linked with Turkish side Galatasaray.

But Calciomercato say Origi would “welcome” a return to the Prem over a move to Turkey.

Everton have also been mentioned, but it’s claimed Origi’s ties to Liverpool are too strong for a switch to Goodison Park.

Origi played 175 times for the Reds, winning the Champions League, Premier League, FA Cup, League Cup and Club World Cup during his time at Anfield.

He moved on last summer in order to pursue more regular first team football at AC Milan.

However, Origi finds himself behind Olivier Giroud and the returning Zlatan Ibrahimovic in the San Siro pecking order.

And AC Milan are said to be open to letting Origi leave in the summer to save on his wages and make room for another addition up front.

Back in January reports emerged that the club were already looking to move Origi on.

Origi has scored two goals in 26 games in all competitions for AC Milan this season, but just six of those appearances have been from the start.
