Now, Nottingham Forest has decided how to handle striker Divock Origi, who is currently on loan.
Forest has had a challenging few weeks as they are currently in the relegation zone while on international break.
Divock Origi was signed by Forest last summer on a season-long loan from AC Milan, but the signing did not spark much excitement at the City Ground.
Will Divock Origi be signed by Nottingham Forest?
The Belgian striker will not be permanently moving to Nottingham in the summer, according to sources originating in Italy.
Origi may become a permanent part of Forest’s team this summer, as it is thought, but Milan will now likely evaluate American interest.
Origi has only played 467 minutes in the Premier League, thus his return has not been as successful as he had hoped.
And in each of his 15 Premier League games, the 28-year-old has failed to strike the back of the net.
What Nuno stated regarding Divock Origi
Nuno Espirito Santo’s return to the Premier League after joining Forest hasn’t exactly been smooth sailing.
The club’s four-point deduction for PSR concerns means that they now really face the possibility of relegation.
However, there is still a ton of football to be played, and they will play Crystal Palace when they go back into action.
The Belgian striker is one player who has to improve, but Nuno has acknowledged he thinks the 28-year-old is getting better.
“I still haven’t decided who is going to play, but I can tell you Divock is improving,” he stated prior to Liverpool’s loss.
He has been in and out, and his progress has been hampered by a few minor problems. However, he was outstanding in the first half (against Manchester United), and because he can play in the center, on the left, and on the right, he is a solution for us. So, we require Divock in its finest iteration.
Origi did start that match at the City Ground against his old team, but after just 65 minutes, he was pulled off.
Origi hasn’t played well since entering, but there’s still a chance he can give Forest some really significant moments as they fight the decline.
With the comeback Chris Wood has made this season and Forest’s financial woes, adding Origi might just put an extra strain on the pay line.
