Little magician of Liverpool, Coutinho

Liverpool star Philippe Coutinho has been often linked with both Spanish giants in recent seasons (mostly Barcelona) and it’s hardly a surprise. On his day, the Brazilian can have the world at his feet but has found it hard to dominate in the Premier League on a consistent basis. We have seen him being strongly man-marked and manhandled by oppositions as the opponents know it very well that if he is offered the space, he is more than likely to punish for their misadventures.

Coutinho is a typical Brazilian attacking midfielder who relies on his flair and technical abilities and is superb when it comes to beating his man with the ball. However, with his small frame, he often struggles against the big defenders in the Premier League. Coutinho, however, is a kind of player that would thrive in La Liga and would reach the heights of his career if he moves to Spain.
