Philippe Coutinho departs: 5 midfielders who can replace him

Gamble: Nabil Fekir

Fekir has been magnificent since his return from injury

Nabil Fekir offers a different perspective compared to other players on this list.

He is eligible to play in the Champion League (Mahrez is also eligible), and could come cheaper than the others on the list. Above all, he has been in excellent for this season.

Fekir has scored 16 goals and assisted four times in all competition. He has also completed 89 of his attempted 119 dribbles.

With Klopp preferring to play a false number nine, Fekir could be an asset for Liverpool in years to come.

But signing him won't be easy as they Liverpool hope it would be. Lyon will be keen to keep their captain at the club at least until summer. Liverpool will have to see off competition from Manchester clubs, Arsenal, Tottenham, Roma, and Real Madrid.
