Arsenal told to snub Philippe Coutinho swap deal

Arsenal told to sign Barcelona alternative instead of injury-prone Coutinho.

According to reports, Barcelona are interested in signing Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang this summer.

They are willing to offer Philippe Coutinho as a part of the swap deal.

Former Gunners legend Kevin Campbell believes Arsenal doesn’t need an attacker and should sign an alternate Barca player.

“Coutinho has suffered a lot of injuries,” Campbell told Football Insider.

“On his day he’s world-class, the problem is there haven’t been many of those days in the last 18 months.

“That’s a big risk. If Aubameyang wants out, Barcelona want to use trades.

“Even if it’s not Coutinho, Barcelona have a good right back, they have a good goalkeeper in Ter Stegen.

“I don’t think Coutinho is the answer but there are plenty of other players who we could take.

“If Barcelona come in for Aubameyang, there is a deal to be done. Arsenal hold the cards.

“But another attacker? No, not for me.”
