Coutinho can become the best in England, believes the Barca player
After his man of the match winning display against Bolton on Wednesday night, coupled with another excellent display on the Saturday prior, many believe that Philippe Coutinho is finally beginning to show what he can do in this Liverpool side.
At the very young age of 22, it’s hard to believe that Coutinho still has the best years of his career ahead of him and can only get better but that is certainly the case, and his Brazil team-mate and childhood friend, Barcelona’s Neymar, believes that the Liverpool midfielder has what it takes to become the best player in the Premier League.
The Barca forward said “He can be the star player in England. This season I think everybody in England is seeing how talented he is – and I know he has a lot more to show.
“We have been good friends since we were 16. Not only is he a fantastic player, he is a good guy to have in the dressing room, always positive and making jokes.”
He continued “I think since Luis joined us at Barcelona, Liverpool have not had that one player they can look to for that special moment.
“Couto can be that player for them I’m sure. When he has the ball at his feet, he can make things happen for himself and he can make things happen for other players. He is a very special player.”
Has the Brazilian striker got a point – can Coutinho become the best player in the Premier League in the next few years? Let us know if you agree below.
