Team: Marseille
Position: Midfield
Age: 19
A report last week in Europe suggested that Liverpool had approached Lopez to be the long-term successor to Philippe Coutinho.
Being viewed as a replacement for one of the Premier League's finest attacking midfielders can only bode well for the French 19-year-old.
Lopez is only just making his first steps at senior level. He made his debut in the first team in August 2016. But he has made an immediate impression, providing five assists in his breakthrough campaign.
The comparisons with Coutinho make sense. Lopez is a diminutive player with a wonderful range of passing and excellent vision. Adding a physicality would be a benefit but it hasn't held him back yet.
He was named Player of the Month for December in France. Liverpool reportedly want playmaker Maxime Lopez to become Philippe Coutinho's successor
