Although he may have departed the team under murky circumstances, Philippe Coutinho is still regarded as one of Liverpool's best players of the last ten years. Before his contentious move to Barcelona, the Brazilian recorded 99 goals and assists in 201 games for the Reds, was a member of the PFA Team of the Year,
and twice took home the Players' Player of the Season Award, after initially joining the Nerazzurri from Brazilian club Vasco de Gama, Coutinho transferred from Inter Milan to the Reds in 2013. After moving to Europe 15 years prior, Coutinho may be followed by another dynamic midfielder, the Times reports that 18-year-old Andrey Santos
Has drawn interest from Liverpool, Manchester City, and Newcastle United, but Chelsea are now the front-runners to capture him, Santos has also been playing at a lower level since Vasco de Gama's relegation from the Brazilian top flight, he made his Série B debut for the club at the end of the 2021 season and then established himself as a starter in the starting XI in 2022,
Starting 33 of their 38 league games and impressively scoring eight goals. Santos plays deeper than Coutinho, acting as both a defensive midfielder and a number eight, He shares a representation deal with Marquinhos of PSG, Bruno Guimares of Newcastle, and Gabriel of Arsenal, along with players like Gabriel Martinelli, the latter pair represent an explosive core of Brazilian potential in the Premier
League, and Santos will seek to join them in the national team in the future after being selected for the 2023 South American Youth Football Championship. But what does Santos bring to the table outside his obvious goal threat from midfield? Peter Pankovski, a Brazilian football analyst who writes for Breaking The Lines, claims that he is a great ball handler who makes use of a commanding frame and a tremendous stride.
