Micah Richards believes Jurgen Klopp sold the 'best player in the Premier League' at Liverpool

Micah Richards has suggested Philippe Coutinho was 'the best player in the league' during his final season at Liverpool in 2017/18.

The Brazilian playmaker left the Reds for Barcelona in January 2018 in a deal worth £142million, having previously handed in a transfer request in the summer of 2017 as he attempted to force through a move.

Coutinho failed to hit the heights many expected him to reach at Camp Nou, which led to the 29-year-old being left out of starting line-ups and later loaned out to Bayern Munich.
