Philippe Coutinho eyes goalscoring improvement

Liverpool midfielder Philippe Coutinho has revealed that he is eager to improve his goalscoring return for the club.

The 21-year-old Brazilian has found the net just twice in 18 appearances for the Reds so far this season.

Coutinho's last goal for Liverpool came on Boxing Day during their 2-1 defeat at Manchester City in the Premier League.

When asked what aspects of his game he would like to make better, he told the club's official website: "My goalscoring, for sure. Sometimes my positioning is not the best and I need to improve that to score more goals.

"I want to continue improving and look forward to working harder and harder on what I need to do to be considered a great player."

Liverpool continue their Premier League campaign on Saturday when they welcome Aston Villa to Anfield.
