Philippe Coutinho has tipped two Liverpool players to bring success to Anfield following his transfer to Barcelona.
It's finally OFFICIAL - Coutinho is no longer a Liverpool player, completing a huge transfer to the Camp Nou.
The clubs agreed on a £142 million deal, with Liverpool looking to lure in new talent during the window.

But the mammoth transfer precedes the club snapping up Virgil van Dijk for a cool £75 million from Southampton.
And the Brazilian maestro feels the Dutch defender is a 'statement' and is confident he can take the club to the next level.

As well as naming Mohamed Salah, who's enjoying a utterly ridiculous campaign, to lead the club to silverware.
"The signing of Virgil van Dijk is a statement, Mo Salah is a wonderful footballer," Coutinho said.

He added: "I look forward to watching them win trophies and to celebrating their success.
"I would not have left for any other club, but Barcelona is something different. It is a dream, a place of magic for me.

van Dijk made his Liverpool debut last Friday night in the FA Cup, and marked his first game with a winning goal against Merseyside rivals, Everton.
In the dying stages, and in front of the Kop End, too. What a way to make your Anfield bow.
Meanwhile, after returning to England's top flight, following a nightmarish stint with Chelsea, Salah has produced heroics, weighing in with 23 goals in all competitions. From goals in the league to the Champions League.
