Origi had travelled to Liverpool's training base in the United States to undergo his medical with the Premier League side and, having sailed through it, has put pen to paper.
According to French sports daily L'Equipe, Origi's contract runs for six years, with the Belgium international now set to be loaned back to Lille for next term.
Liverpool are paying a fee of around €13m for the promising striker.
