No Cout about it!

- N by CHRIS DOUGLAS

GERMANY star Emre Can has played with some greats but he says

NO ONE is better than Liverpool team-mate Philippe Coutinho.

Can, 23, started out at Bayern Munich before spending a season at Bayer Leverkusen.

Coutinho was wanted by Barcelona in the summer, with Liverpool rejecting a bid in the region of £119million from the Catalan club.

And Can – who came on as a sub for Germany in their win in Northern Ireland on Thursday – can understand why they were so keen on Coutinho, 25.

“I never saw a talent like him – Philippe has everything,” he said.

“On the ball he is just amazing. It is very difficult to play against him. He can score goals, he shoots – he can just do everything with the ball.”
