Liverpool needs to keep Phillippe Coutinho around next season if they want to be as successful as they could be in the UEFA Champions League and in the domestic tournament.
The Brazilian playmaker was crucial for the Reds' 4-0 win against West Ham, scoring a brace for Klopp's men while keeping their 3rd spot in the EPL intact. This was Coutinho's third brace for Liverpool, and all of them have come while playing in London. The other two braces came against Chelsea (October 2015) and Arsenal (August 2016).
Furthermore, one of his goals cemented his reputation as one of the best shooters from outside the box.

Liverpool's last game will come next week when they host the already relegated Middlesbrough. If they want to keep their 3rd spot, Klopp's men will have to win that game and hope that Manchester City drops points against either West Brom or Watford.
