Philippe Coutinho has agreed to join Aston Villa on a six-month loan deal from Barcelona, with an option to buy this summer.

The 29-year-old Brazilian playmaker will reunite with his former Liverpool teammate Steven Gerrard, who now manages the Midlands club.

Coutinho had been linked with a number of other Premier League sides after struggling to nail down a regular start at Barcelona after his £140 million move from Liverpool in 2018.
