Barcelona star Neymar: Liverpool's Coutinho can be best in England

Barcelona star Neymar is backing Liverpool midfielder Philippe Coutinho to become a world star. Coutinho signed a new Reds deal this week before hitting the winner at FA Cup opponents Bolton Wanderers.

Neymar told The Mirror: "He can be the star player in England. This season I think everybody in England is seeing how talented he is - and I know he has a lot more to show.

"We have been good friends since we were 16. Not only is he a fantastic player, he is a good guy to have in the dressing room, always positive and making jokes."
