'I think he's a creative genius': Liverpool legend Phil Thompson urges club to re-sign Philippe Coutinho 'in a heartbeat' with Brazilian set to leave Barcelona after nightmare spell

Phil Thompson believes former club Liverpool should re-sign 'creative genius' Philipe Coutinho in the summer transfer window.

The Brazilian left Anfield for Barcelona in January 2018 in a deal worth up to £142million, but has struggled to make an impact at the Nou Camp.

The midfielder has made 76 appearances in two-and-a-half seasons at Barca, providing 21 goals and 11 assists.
