It appears Liverpool don’t actually need Phillipe Coutinho to win games, as we all saw how they won Manchester City at Anfield on Sunday.
Of course, we can’t but admit that Countiho is a superb midfielder. However, against Pep Guardiola side last weekend, we saw how the trio of Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Emre Can and Wijnaldum handled the midfield with skill.
We can consider Emre Can as the best defensive midfielder at Anfield currently – he successfully stopped De Bruyne’s venom on Sunday.
This season so far in 27 games for Liverpool, the Germany international has scored 4 times and has provided 3 assists to his teammates.
Although Jurgen Klopp has a handful of talented midfielders at Anfield, the German boss is expected to do all it takes to keep Can with him at Liverpool.
And it appears he will eventually sign a new deal with Liverpool and extend his stay at the club.
The talented 24-year-old has recently made it known that he is still negotiating with the club in terms of a new contract.
Emre has been heavily linked with Juventus in recent times, and it is understood the Serie A champions are set to offer him a lucrative deal that will see him earn more than what he is currently paid at Liverpool.
