Liverpool have signed a top class attacker in the form of Mohamed Salah this summer and the Egyptian international has so far netted four goals in the pre-season.
The Reds have a brilliant attacking line but Coutinho is linked with a move away from the club and Jurgen Klopp must do whatever possible to keep him at Anfield.
According to an exclusive report covered by the Sun, the Brazilian international is on the verge of quitting Liverpool for Barca and in such a scenario, the Reds are ready to secure the signing of West Ham star Manuel Lanzini, who is their top priority.

The 24-year-old Argentine international was in top form for the Hammers, especially in the second half of the last campaign and Bilic would surely not want to lose him.
The South American star is a versatile talent, who can play effectively in the attacking midfield and also in the central midfield if needed. Last season, he featured in 35 league games for West Ham, scored 8 goals and provided 2 assists.
In all fairness, his stats are not really good enough to replace someone as good as Coutinho at Anfield. Lanzini’s current deal with the Hammers will expire in 2020 and he is earning (Star) around £70,000-a-week ($92,000-a-week).
