He would have been perfect, especially with what is going on with Eriksen at the moment
Peter Crouch on Philippe Coutinho and Tottenham
“He would have been perfect, especially with what is going on with Eriksen at the moment, he’s a readymade replacement,” he said on BT Sport.
Coutinho lined up against Tottenham in the Champions League on Tuesday night.
And ex-Spurs star Gary Lineker was looking forward to seeing the former Liverpool man play.
“It will be interesting to see Coutinho in action, obviously we all saw him perform brilliantly for Liverpool,” Lineker said.

“Struggled a little bit at Barcelona. Started well and then he kind of went off the boil and then he was left out a lot.
“[Spurs] were obviously linked with him on loan, it didn’t quite happen for Tottenham.
“That would have been a good addition. He played under [Mauricio] Pochettino at Espanyol of course, that’s obviously where the link comes from, that’s where they know each other from.”
Former Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand was working alongside Lineker and Crouch.
