Arsenal have been told to sign Philippe Coutinho if they get the chance with the Gunners recently linked with a move for the current Aston Villa loanee at the end of the season.
Coutinho joined Steven Gerrard's side on loan from Barcelona in the January transfer window and has slotted seamlessly back into Premier League life. The 29-year-old has scored four goals and assisted three more in just ten top-flight appearances, pushing Villa into contention for European football.
The West Midlands side have the option to sign Coutinho for £33 million come the end of the season but Arsenal are considering hijacking the move. According to Sport, Mikel Arteta and co. are pondering their own move for the attacking midfielder come the summer, seemingly impressed by his form in the top-flight.
