5 replacements for Philippe Coutinho at Liverpool

#4 Riyad Mahrez

Riyad Mahrez

PFA player of the year in the 2015/16 season, Mahrez looks set to depart Leicester City this transfer window. The tricky Algerian winger has been linked with Arsenal, Roma and even Tottenham in the recent days, but Liverpool could swoop in as well if they do indeed lose Coutinho in this transfer window.

Although Mahrez did not have the best of seasons in 2016/17, there is no denying the quality and class he possesses and he could be a much cheaper alternative as well compared to the other names on this list.

Still only 26, Mahrez's magical left foot is capable of destroying opposing defences while his dribbling ability is comparable to that of Coutinho's. Young, energetic and simply brilliant when in the mood, Liverpool and Klopp could well be tempted to look at the Leicester City man as a potential replacement for their 'number 10'.
