Liverpool hero Dean Saunders says his old club should seriously consider selling Philippe Coutinho.

Saunders claims that Manchester United's Juan Mata and Swansea City's Gylfi Sigurdsson, who has been pursued by Everton this summer, would be suitable replacements for the Brazil international.

“£100million sell him," Saunders told talkSPORT.

“For me, he's replaceable. You could sign Isco for £30million. He's not going to get a game at Real Madrid.

“Juan Mata, Sigurdsson - there are players you could sign to replace Coutinho.

“(Luis) Suarez was irreplaceable. Certain players are irreplaceable.

“I like Coutinho. The last game I watched he was brilliant but £100million? Once they knock the door as a player he's gone."
