Spurs fans have been discussing former Liverpool midfielder, Philippe Coutinho, after it was revealed that the Brazilian is keen on a move back to the Premier League, with Spurs and Manchester United amongst the suitors.
According to The Daily Mirror (via Ricky Sacks), the Barcelona midfielder is keen to end his stay and return to the English top-flight this summer. Although Spurs are mentioned to be interested in signing the 27-year-old, it suggests that Daniel Levy may be unwilling to part with the funds necessary to bring him to North London.
The midfielder is currently valued at £63 million by Transfermarkt, which is a fraction of the £142 million Barcelona paid for the midfielder in order to sign him from Liverpool in January 2018, but it seems as if his price prove to be a stumbling block in any potential transfer negotiations between Barcelona and the Lilywhites.
Would Coutinho be a good signing for Spurs?
Yes
No

Would be a good signing. I really cant see us paying enough to sign him permanently though, so it would probably be a loan

If we’re to show ambition to challenge he should be a priority signing.

These Spurs fans are clearly keen on a move for Coutinho and hope that Levy will be able to bring him back to the Premier League this summer.
What do we think?
Coutinho has impressed during his loan spell with Bayern Munich so far this season; averaging an impressive 7.27 rating for his performances in the Bundesliga and perhaps if Barcelona are willing to let him leave on loan again, Spurs can be the beneficiaries.
