Divock Origi says he would be prepared to link up with Liverpool in January, if the Premier League club come calling.
A £10million deal for the Belgium international was agreed over the summer, with the youngster allowed to spend the 2014/15 campaign on loan at Lille.
Liverpool are, however, reported to be mulling over the option of bringing the 19-year-old to Anfield in the New Year.
Brendan Rodgers’ side have been short on firepower this season, with Daniel Sturridge injured and Mario Balotelli struggling to find his form.
Origi admits to being aware of the rumours suggesting he could soon be on his way to England, and says he would be open to making a move if Lille are willing to let him go.
He said in the Daily Star: "It is not me who makes the decisions but if the club choose to let me go in January, I would join Liverpool.
"I said that I would stay for the whole season and I wish to remain honourable to that, of course.
"But if there was a decision by the clubs, I would not say that I would not like to go to Liverpool in January.
"I would love to move to Liverpool sooner rather than later.
"I can’t wait to be playing in the Premier League because I can now see that it will suit me better. I think there are good things waiting for me with Liverpool."
