#3 Jack Wilshere
With the loss of Coutinho, Liverpool are missing a truly creative player in the centre of their midfield – Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain would like to fill the role, but there’s another Arsenal player who could slot into the spot even more seamlessly and would be as creative as even Coutinho was.
He’s out of contract in the summer so could potentially be bought this month too – his name is Jack Wilshere.
Liverpool have largely favoured a 4-3-3 midfield this season, with a front trio usually consisting of any three of Coutinho, Sadio Mane, Roberto Firmino and Mo Salah.
Take Coutinho away from there and you’ve still got three deadly forwards, but add Wilshere into a midfield usually consisting of the likes of Emre Can, Giorginio Wijnaldum and Jordan Henderson – somewhat devoid of creativity – and you give Liverpool the spark of Coutinho but from a deeper position.
It’s a position that Wilshere has been playing in brilliantly for Arsenal as of late – he’s been their best player by far in recent games – and the difference in his decision-making and ability to pick open a defence when compared to someone like Henderson is night and day.
Assuming Wilshere could stay fit, he’d be the sort of difference-maker who could allow Liverpool to win a major honour like the Champions League.
