Former Liverpool star Philippe Coutinho has joined Aston Villa on a permanent transfer, the club has announced.
The Brazilian play-maker was brought to Villa Park by Steven Gerrard on loan during the January transfer window and has made a big impression with fans, scoring four goals in 16 appearances. Now Villa have struck a €20million four-year deal with the Catalan Giants, that includes a 50% sell on clause for any future sale of the player.
Coutinho's transfer back to the Premier League is a snip of what Barcelona paid Liverpool for the 29-year-old back in 2018, when he joined the La Liga club for an eye-watering £130million.
