5 players who could replace Barcelona-bound Philippe Coutinho

#3 Max Meyer

Meyer scored during the 2016 Olympic final against Brazil

Another German, Max Meyer of Schalke is young at 22 and has shown bags of potential in the both the Bundesliga and for the national team. He was part of the Germany Under 21 squad that won the UEFA European Under-21 Championship in 2017 and has already made 4 appearances for the senior national team, scoring 1 goal.

He has only scored and assisted once each this season, but this is mainly because he has been often deployed as a defensive midfielder, rather than his preferred attacking midfield position. Like Coutinho, when he first came to Anfield, Meyer is a young player with glimpses of talent who could become something special.
