A number of Aston Villa fans have taken to Twitter to react after Spanish outlet El Gol Digital hinted that the Villans may be looking at Liverpool striker Divock Origi this summer.

It would be no surprise to see Origi leave Anfield at the end of the season. He has tended to be an understudy throughout his time on Merseyside, but opportunities have been even rarer than usual this season.

According to El Gol Digital, Liverpool would be willing to sell the Belgian for around £17.24 million (€20 million).

Real Sociedad reportedly want the 25-year-old. But it is claimed that their main competition will come from the Premier League, with Villa joined by Newcastle United and Wolves in the race.

Origi – who earns £60,000-a-week, according to Spotrac – has scored some big goals during his time with Liverpool. And his overall record is not terrible when you consider that how he has been used throughout his time in England.

Nevertheless, it appears that plenty of Villa fans are not too excited about the links. Dean Smith does not have a lot of options up front. But the supporters feel that other areas of the squad require more urgent attention in the summer.

Ollie Watkins has led the line brilliantly this season. And some feel that signing Origi would not make a lot of sense.

With that in mind, here is how some of the Villa fans have reacted to the reports…
