More and more rumors starting to spread that are linking Arsenal with Coutinho. I rejected it at first because it didn't really make any sense for me but it looks there is substance to the story after all.
I really don't know where do they plan to play him and how much are they willing to pay for him, it looks like exactly the type of transfer that cost them a lot in the past and that they stopped making in the last 2 years.
Barcelona is obviously looking to get rid of him, he isn't even playing with all their injuries and problems because if he plays a few more games they will have to pay another installment of the transfer to Liverpool. Good thing for Arsenal is that they cannot ask for any kind of significant money.
I don’t know how to feel about this Coutinho's transfer saga. No doubt he’s a good player but hasn’t been in a good shape for a very long time. Coutinho enjoyed a successful spell at Liverpool before joining Barcelona, but his time at the Barcelona has never taken off, failing to deliver either side of a loan at Bayern Munich. I don’t know if there is an obvious place for Coutinho in this Arsenal side. He is a No.10 and plays same position as Martin Odegaard. He can also play from the left flank where Smith Rowe and Martinelli operates, but I doubt if he may be able to make the same impact these kids have been doing. Let’s see what happens and hope for the best. I won't say he will be a success at Arsenal but I won't say he will impress just let see what happens.

Anyone that watched Coutinho play knew, he wasn't a good footballer. Yes, he scored spectacular goals, but his technical skills and movements were always very poor. Just watch him play next to LaMasia player and the difference is obvious. I don't think he would make the FC Barcelona B team. Yet, someone managed to pay him massive $$$ and sign him to this massive contract. It is clear, he was brought in as an overreaction to Neymar departure.
In any case, anything can still happen in this matter, information like Mbappe is thinking about extending his contract with PSG will continue to leak to the press, and money will play an important role in which option the further development of events will go
