      Inter Milan's attacking midfielder Phillippe Coutinho has emerged as a summer transfer target for Liverpool according to insidefutbol.com.

      The highly rated Samba star has fallen down the pecking order at the San Siro, since the arrival of current coach Leonardo, who replaced former Anfield boss Rafael Benitez at the helm of the Serie A club.

      At just 18, Coutinho is widely regarded as one of the hottest prospects to come out of South America in recent years.

      However, his limited game time in the past few months is a cause of frustration for the young Brazilian, to the point that he may consider his future in the summer.

      Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish is on the lookout for midfield additions and wants to bring an attack-minded playmaker to Anfield to increase his options in the middle of the park.

      According to Gazetta dello Sport, Coutinho has been touted by the Reds director of football Damien Comolli, who is a known admirer of the player's abilities.

      Comolli in fact tried to sign the former Vasco da Gama star in his previous role with French outfit St Etienne, and he is keen to approach the player again this summer.

      Described as a two-footed midfielder who gets 'bums off seats' with his technical dribbling and trickery to beat defenders, Liverpool fans will be excited at the prospect of this potential acquisition.

      Having signed for Inter at the age of 16, for a fee of €4million, the Italian club will be looking to make a profit should he decide to leave.

      And with the Anfield club's emphasis once again placed on developing youth policy, Coutinho fits the bill in terms of an up-and-coming talent who can be nurtured with a view to becoming a Liverpool star of the future.

      Can't see this one happening.  He is one of the top rated youngsters in the world, and Inter won't sell him on the cheap.  IF he is sold, it will be for a ridiculously high fee.  Otherwise, the only way he is leaving Milan is on loan...

      I'm a fan, although he's slightly overrated I think. Lots of potential but still have to improve a lot of areas of his game such as his finishing. Anyway, I'd love to have him here as he's very young and could only get better. Has the kind of attacking flair we all want.

      Would be terrible to have a former Vasco player though :P Hate them.

      Another Central Attacker? I feel like this is a position we have plenty of depth in. That being said, he is a great talent. Every time I've seen him I've come away impressed. He got a lot of playing time under Rafa, and did very well.

      Oh, good call.  Wasn't thinking of him because I don't classify him as a flop or a player we want to get rid of, but if he wants to stay in Italy and Kenny doesn't really want him back, we should be able to find a buyer.  I'd be happy with a swap of some sort for Coutinho!  He's got the potential to be one of the worlds best IMO.... just needs game time and a proper manager to get the best out of him!

      When Rafa used him at Inter, he was superb. Would love him here.
