Simon Mignolet has hailed Philippe Coutinho's
creativity and feels the Brazil international is as
important for Liverpool as Eden Hazard is to
Chelsea.
Coutinho has been in sublime form in 2016-17 and
has netted 12 goals in 30 Premier League
appearances.
The attacking midfielder's performances have been
vital to Liverpool's Champions League ambitions,
with Jurgen Klopp's men to secure a top-four finish
with a win over Middlesbrough on Sunday, and
Mignolet has nothing but praise for his team-mate.
"They cannot really put one marker on to him.
Philippe can distribute the ball in a brilliant way,"
Mignolet told the Liverpool Echo.
"In the Premier League you need creative players
to open games up. You look at Chelsea, they have
Eden Hazard. Manchester City have Raheem
Sterling, David Silva or Kevin De Bruyne.
"He is a good boy who works hard. He is very
important to us.
"It was a big positive that he signed that new
contract. We all hope he stays at Liverpool for
many years to come."
