Divock Origi (Lille)
The Belgian is a victim of his own success. He burst onto the scene at last year’s World Cup, and fortunately, we were the ones that managed to sign him. However, he was certainly not ready for first-team football at Anfield, and only circumstances during the season led to calls to bring him back from his loan spell at Lille, the club we bought him from.
He has managed eight goals in Ligue 1, albeit whilst receiving criticism for his efforts. Hopefully, the year he has had will benefit him once he comes to Merseyside. The highs and lows will prepare him for the fickleness of English football.
Grade: B-
Jerome Sinclair (Wigan Athletic)
Like Ojo, Jerome Sinclair was around the Wigan side that tried to avoid relegation. Despite not really getting a chance – he played in only one game – he should still benefit from being part of the club for nearly two months.
He’ll have been made well aware of the implications of a bad performance and will hopefully grown more accustomed to being surrounded by senior players. His dealing of the pressure in that situation has allowed him to come back to us and make a couple of promising appearances from the bench.
Grade: C
