Top 5 midfielders in Europe in 2017/18

Chelsea v Manchester City - Premier League
Is he the best midfielder this season?

#4 Philippe Coutinho - Barcelona

Barcelona v Espanyol - Spanish Copa del Rey
The prince of Barcelona!

When a club like Barcelona is ready to make a player their most expensive one ever, you know that he is got to be pretty good at what he does. Liverpool’s illusionist Philippe Coutinho had enthralled the English League with his jaw-dropping performances in the last few seasons before his record-breaking move to Spanish giants Barcelona.

Capable of the spectacular and a perfect fit for Barca's tiki-taka style, the little Brazilian is steadily enhancing his reputation as the Blaugrana's standout performer after a certain Argentine of course.

Known for his agility in losing his marker or the last defender and dribbling skills to die for, the little Brazillian has immensely improved on his passing and vision training with the likes of Messi, Suarez, Iniesta, Busquets and the rest of the team at the Catalan capital.

Coutinho is most comfortable in playing as an attacking midfielder though he generally plays on the left-flank scoring 20 goals and providing 13 assists on the way both in the Premier League and the La Liga.
