Luis Suarez was still around, at the time, but the ageing Steven Gerrard wasn’t going to be for much longer and the Kop needed another midfield hero to worship.

Barcelona have reportedly switched their attention to Liverpool star Philippe Coutinho.

“But one that I like and I think I could play here is Coutinho“.

The two Brazilians have played alongside each other for several years while representing their country at various worldwide levels and the Barca man believes his compatriot has what it takes to turn out for the Spanish and European champions.

The 23-year-old has been one of his team’s more impressive performers in a disappointing start to the Premier League season, and Barca man Neymar feels his fellow Brazilian has all the attributes to follow Luis Suarez in swapping Anfield for Camp Nou. Both the heartbeat of their respective sides and so much expected from them, Fabregas played a lot more off instinct and compulsion at Arsenal his attacking runs and unwiltering passion could be best in his goal against AC Milan in 2008. “He’s a great player and he has Barcelona’s style”. “What I look for in every season is to get better”, he added.
