Liverpool defender Dejan Lovren has described it as “an honour” to play alongside teammate Philippe Coutinho and believes that the Brazilian is the best player in the Premier League at the moment.

Speaking with Liverpool.com, the Croatian defender said, “In my opinion he’s the best player in the league at the moment,” said the Croatia international. “I have the pleasure and the honour to play with this guy. He is playing for Brazil as well.

“He wasn’t just outstanding against Palace, he’s been like that all year. His crosses were perfect. We scored from his set-pieces. He is a main part of the team, but it’s not an individual thing that wins us points, it’s the team work.

Focusing on his most recent performance against Crystal Palace, Lovren pondered, “It was the team that beat Palace, not just one player. But of course when a team works really good then individual qualities comes out. I think that man against Palace was Philippe Coutinho.”
