FC Barcelona: 3 possible replacements for Philippe Coutinho on the left wing

Coutinho's performances on the left-wing are a shadow of those at the midfield position

#2 Hakim Ziyech (Ajax)

Follow his celebrationsCall him maybe? — Follow his celebrations: Call him maybe?

Hakim Ziyech has burst into the spotlight this season with Ajax. It is hard to believe but he has more goals and assists combined than Raheem Sterling, Sergio Aguero, Karim Benzema, Luis Suarez, and even Cristiano Ronaldo. This is not comparing him to the veterans but it goes to show how good he is.

The Moroccan has been absolutely terrific for Ajax and is scoring goals or all sorts. Match-winning goals, outside the box, inside the box, right-foot, left-foot, any way you like it. Barcelona really needs a goalscoring winger because their second top-scorer in the Champions League is Own Goals.

Ziyech can be deployed on either wing too. He has scored 21 times this season and has assisted 24 times, in 45 appearances for Ajax. With Frenkie de Jong set to join Barcelona, and possibly Matthijs de Ligt also Barcelona bound, Ziyech too might join the Spanish Champions rather than the Gunners.

Barcelona will welcome Ziyech without a shadow of a doubt.
