Jamie Carragher: 'Philippe Coutinho is Liverpool's best player'

By , Rugby Editor
Former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher believes that Philippe Coutinho has become the club's best player this season.

Jamie Carragher has claimed that Philippe Coutinho is now Liverpool's best player following a string of impressive performances this season.

The Brazilian midfielder has played a key role in the Reds' quest for a top-four finish, scoring four goals and providing four assists so far.

Carragher claims that he had doubts about the 22-year-old last season, but the former defender now admits that Coutinho has improved dramatically in the past 12 months.

"Last season Luis Suarez was Liverpool's main man, the go-to man. But as this season has progressed, and for the future, Coutinho is Liverpool's," he told Sky Sports News.

"When Liverpool were going for the title last year I still was not convinced he was a real top player, but he's getting really close now. He looks the best player every week."

Liverpool kept their hopes of Champions League qualification alive on Monday with a 2-0 win over Newcastle United at Anfield.
