Liverpool legend Robbie Fowler has hailed the season of Philippe Coutinho.

Fowler, who scored 183 goals for Liverpool, believes Coutinho can only get better next season.

"The stand-out player this year has probably been Philippe Coutinho, I'd be surprised if he didn't win it. He has scored goals," Fowler told liverpoolfc.com.

"As a forward, I loved playing with players like that because you knew that you were going to get a few chances in a game.

"He is one of those players that can open up defences; ultimately, the forward players have got to be helping him but he certainly helps the forwards.

"He puts the ball into certain positions where you think it is impossible at times, and some of his footwork in creating space for himself is a joy to watch.

"It's a match made in heaven for any player who plays up front for Liverpool when you've got a player that talented behind you."
