Arsenal have long been out of contention for the Premier League title, and fans have already forgotten when that happened.
If he used to play at least in the Champions League, now he can’t boast that he is even more frustrating for the fans. The attempt to strengthen the team with top names is constant, and in that direction is the desire of Mikel Arteta to bring Phillipe Coutinho into his team.
The Brazilian is still a member of Barcelona, which paid him around 160 million euros two years ago and he is still the most expensive footballer in the history of the club. At the Camp Nou, he is not adapting to the expectations and this season he is on loan at Bayern. The Bavarians are not impressed with him either, so they will not buy his contract, which is a chance for Arsenal.
Coutinho’s current price tag is €80 million, but Arsenal believe they can get a discount.
