Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has admitted he was surprised that a 'proper offer' did not arrive for Divock Origi this summer despite leaving him out of his squad entirely in recent weeks. 

Origi, who was handed his first start since January in Liverpool's 3-2 Champions League victory over AC Milan, reminded everyone of his quality by providing a sumptuous assist for Mohamed Salah.

The forward went off after the hour mark with cramp before Jordan Henderson scored a stunning strike from outside the box to seal their remarkable comeback victory.

However, the Belgian ended up staying put after no suitable offers came in. Klopp admitted after Wednesday night's victory he was shocked that no clubs pursued him in the summer and insisted Origi will be viewed as a 'legend' when he eventually leaves the club. 

"People forget how good he is." Klopp told BT Sport

"It's difficult to get in this team. In the summer transfer window we all thought there would be a proper offer, but obviously people don't watch football enough!"
