He is very gifted and talented,” said Kompany. “Technically, he’s a monster.“More importantly, he is an outstanding worker in training. I see him working like crazy.” Origi, who revealed he keeps regular contact with Reds boss Brendan Rodgers, has played both up front and on the left wing for Lille this season, and has now established himself as first-choice in Marc Wilmots’ international side.
And Kompany, a two-time Premier League winner, believes there is no limit to Origi’s potential. “If he continues in this way, in a few years he will be among the five or ten best strikers in the world,” added Kompany.
