Ranking Liverpool’s 6 best January signings ever

#3 Philippe Coutinho

Coutinho had the ability to beat his man and find the top corner

Despite his recent struggles, Inter fans must surely be thinking Coutinho was the one that got away.

After a frustrating couple of seasons for the young Brazilian, the then 20-year old Coutinho decided to switch clubs. Liverpool and Brendan Rodgers came calling and paid Inter a meagre £8.5 million for the wonderkid in January 2013.

Alongside Daniel Sturridge, Liverpool had acquired a player that would go on to play a major role in the following season’s title charge. The magical Brazilian made a habit of scoring worldies from outside the box.

The Brazilian flair was there for all to see. Coutinho racked up 201 appearances for the Merseysiders, scoring 54 times in all competitions in a five-year spell at the club.

His performances certainly caught the attention of the best clubs as Barcelona splashed in an initial £105 million to acquire his services in 2018. The selling price certainly dwarfs the cost price that Liverpool paid for him, making him one of the best January signings ever.
