Mesut Ozil reveals he has a sixth sense
Former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher and Sky Sports pundit stated that he does not believe Coutinho is quite among the worlds best yet but that he is close.
Carragher revealed that he believes Coutinho is reaching the levels of Mesut Özil, Juan Mata and Santi Cazorla.
“He’s getting to that stage now where you put him up against Cazorla, Özil, Mata, those type of players that play between the lines,” Carragher told Sky Sports.
“When Liverpool were going for the title last year I still was not convinced he was a real top player, but he’s getting really close now.”
“He is the best No. 10 in the world. He made things easier for me and his team-mates with his vision of the game and the decisions that he made.
The 26-year-old has five goals and seven assists in all competitions for Arsenal this season.
