Arsenal enters the fight for Coutinho

A Philippe Coutinho Three months have been enough Aston Villa to recover your best version. After failing to succeed in the Barçawith whom he has a contract until June 2023, the Brazilian left on loan to the club he directs in January Steven Gerrardhis former partner in the Liverpool, and, under his orders, is achieving brilliant numbers (he has six goals and three assists in 10 games). In fact, his irruption has not only caused Gerrard publicly ask his club to make the purchase effective – set at 40 million -, but has aroused the interest of other teams to take over his services this coming summer.

One of them is the Arsenal, who has already contacted the player’s environment to be placed on the list of suitors. The ‘gunner’ group, led by Mikel Artetais now fourth in the Premier Leagueso if he ends up in this position he could have the hook of playing in Champions next season, something that Aston Villa will not be able to offer, which is currently 18 points behind the ‘gunners’, although with one less game.

In any case, for now, Coutinho is focused on continuing to perform at the highest level in the Aston Villabecause he knows that only in this way will he be able to continue in the calls for Brazil and be in the Qatar World Cup. For now, the player and his family are comfortable in the city of Birmingham, despite the fact that they have always liked London a lot and it would be another of Arsenal’s attractions to value when the time comes. Even so, and with the expectation of whether more teams can join in getting his signing, Philippe Coutinho will not decide its future until the end of next May, once the Premier League.
