6. Philippe Coutinho – Liverpool
Sterling’s teammate at Liverpool carried with him an exciting reputation when he joined last January despite not being able to capture his best form with Inter Milan. However, some league’s and certain styles of football aren’t set up for some players to showcase what they can do – luckily that doesn’t count for the Premier League in Coutinho’s case.
An intelligent playmaker whose runs are the stuff defender’s nightmares are made of, he will grow in ability as he grows in confidence and will undoubtedly be a regular part of the Selecao in the years to come.
