Liverpool already have the next Florian Wirtz and he's as special as Philippe Coutinho | OneFootball

The Reds have a player as special as Philippe Coutinho and Florian Wirtz combined.

There was nothing better than waking up every weekend waiting to watch the Brazilian play football for the Reds. Coutinho was the kind of player who you went to watch at the stadium, who you fell in love with.

He was simply a magician. His feet could do wonders mere mortal beings could not even dream of.

At his very best for Liverpool he was outrageous in terms of his ability to create chances. There's a reason why Luis Suarez, Daniel Sturridge, Sadio Mane, Roberto Firmino and Mo Salah all loved playing with him.

Now we are spoiled as fans because we've been treated to the second coming of Coutinho with the arrival of Wirtz.

The German is the connector at Liverpool right now. He's the best creative player in the Premier League right now - capable of unlocking any defence from open play.

Wirtz will be dominating at Anfield for years to come.

And when he does end his reign, his second-coming is already at the club...

Let us introduce you to Erik Farkas. An England U17 international, who was actually born in Hungary and is therefore the fourth Hungarian on the books at the club after Dominik Szoboszlai, Milos Kerkez and Armin Pecsi.

Farkas has been at Liverpool's academy since the age of 11, and he's recently made a breakthrough into the U18 side. Even though he's still only an U16 player, the young 16-year-old has become a starter for the U18s recently.

During the last few games, Farkas has also been allowed to play his best position as a no.10 and in the last nine matches he has six assists, playing a key role in Liverpool's attack.

In total, Farkas is averaging an assist every 0.57 per minutes in the U18 Premier League, which is the highest average out of players who have played at least 600 minutes in the competition so far.

That should tell you already that he is an elite creator.

Farkas loves to flit between the lines and he's very good at finding himself in the half spaces between the opposition's midfield and defence.

That was something characteristic of Phillippe Coutinho at his best. It's characteristic of what Florian Wirtz does best right now - creating more open chances than any other player in the Premier League.

But the resemblance to Coutinho and Wirtz is even more obvious in Farkas' creativity and vision. He weights his passes perfectly. His through balls are almost always accurate and put his teammates in the most advantageous situations.

At times, some of the balls he executes past opposition lines are mesmerising to watch. He's the type of player you want in your team - especially against low-blocks, Farkas can unlock any defence.

Having grown up in the English system, he is way more suited to the physical nature of the Premier League - something both Coutinho and Wirtz had to adapt to.

Of course, patience has to be exercised with Farkas. He is still a very young player and it will take time for him to develop and reach the level of the first-team.

But he's here now, and he won't be going anywhere if he agrees a new deal - his current one expires this summer. If he does, he'll soon be playing for the first-team if he continues to progress through the ranks at the same rate as he has been so far.
