Footballers are prone to the odd tattoo. Just look at Hull City striker Abel Hernandez, who revealed a huge picture of Brazilian legend Ronaldo tattooed on his right leg last month.

This week, Liverpool midfielder Coutinho was spotted showing off his brand new tattoo of Mickey Mouse to teammate Georginio Wijnaldum during a training session at Melwood.

Mickey is imprinted on the Brazilian's torso, and Wijnaldum's reaction is basically all of us reading this


Why Mickey? We have no idea, but it's quite the talking point on social media.

The 24-year-old revealed the ink on Wednesday as Liverpool prepare for their Premier League clash against Manchester City on Sunday.

Coutinho's recent performances have been another big talking point, and Sky pundit stated that the Brazilian is not 'world class' and is no way near the standard of Chelsea's Eden Hazard.

He also spoke about the midfielder's goalscoring record and his £150,000 per-week wage package.

In his recent Daily Star column titled: 'Philippe Coutinho isn't world class, Arsenal won't win the league' Merson says the following about Liverpool's number 10:

"Jurgen Klopp says Coutinho is world class. But he's not. He's not a Cristiano Ronaldo. He's not even an Eden Hazard in my opinion.

"Coutinho's scored five goals in the league. Joe Allen at Stoke has scored as many as that. Leroy Fer at Swansea has scored more."


"A lot of his goals are worldies as well. They dry up sooner or later. He needs to find other ways to score.

"He also has five assists but that doesn't even put him in the top ten this season. So £150,000-a-week is a lot to be paying him.

"I don't even think he's Liverpool's best player. Sadio Mane is probably more important to them and they've really missed him."
