Thirty-four months and counting in Premier League, still no Player of month award for Ozil

#3 Philippe Coutinho

Coutinho may never win the Player of the month award if he moves to Barcelona this winter

Nicknamed as 'The Little Magician' by the Liverpool fans and teammates, Philippe Coutinho is one of the most gifted and versatile midfielders in the world. Football legend Pele, in an interview, said Coutinho has a "great future" ahead. Rightly so, Barcelona is trying to seize this prized asset at a young age of 25. The Catalans are looking forward to replacing Andreas Iniesta with him. He was also featured in 2015 PFA Team of the Year.

Despite his successful stint with Liverpool, to everyone's surprise, Coutinho hasn't won a single Player of the Month award. While his attacking partners Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah were lucky to get into this list, Coutinho is still luckless to win the award.

He has represented Liverpool for 134 times in the Premier League games scoring 39 goals and providing 34 assists. He is into the sixth season of the Premier League and may never win this award if he moves to Barcelona in this winter transfer window.

How couldn't a consistent performer like Coutinho win this award not even once in his career?
