The hunt for Philippe Coutinho’s replacement is on, or we are to believe, as the Evening Standard claims that the Reds are in for West Ham’s Manuel Lanzini.
The 24-year-old Argentine is one of the better players for the London club and the team have bought well in the summer with Javier Hernandez and Joe Hart joining the side.
While Slaven Bilic tries to ensure that the Hammers have a great season to talk about, losing out on Lanzini would push the team back a bit as per their ambitions this season.
Some liverpool fans too seem to be up in arms as Lanzini could be the replacement for one of our best players and that certainly got them riled up while others claimed that the 24-year-old would be a good signing for us.
Please #lfc if you’ll do let #Coutinho join Barca this window we need a player similar go all out to sign Lanzini turned 24 I’d pay £50m

Any #LFC fan slagging off Lanzini obviously hasn’t watched #WHUFC for the past two seasons. Quality player

I like Lanzini. He wouldn’t be as good as Phil, but he’d go OK for us IMO. The others – just no.
