Transfer: Arsenal in shock move for Barcelona’s Coutinho

Arsenal are trying to sign Phillipe Coutinho from Barcelona on loan, according to Sport.

Club officials are meeting at the Joan Gamper match this Sunday and Raul Sanllehi has a good relationship with Barca.

The LaLiga champions are desperate to sell Coutinho, but may be open to sending him on loan.

The 27-year-old moved to Spain from Arsenal’s rivals Liverpool for £143million just 18 months ago.

But since becoming the club’s record signing, Coutinho has failed to show his best at the Nou Camp.

The Brazilian has been linked with a return to Anfield and Paris Saint-Germain, but could now be set for the Emirates.
