Philippe Coutinho Makes Permanent Move To Aston Villa From Barcelona.

Brazilian midfielder, Philippe Coutinho has finally penned a permanent deal with English Premier League club, Aston Villa, after four disappointing seasons at Barcelona.

Coutinho signed for the Catalan giants in January 2018 for a massive £146milliion according to Sky Sports, which makes the former Liverpool man the fourth most expensive signing in football history.

After an impressive half-season at Barca, things never worked out for Coutinho at his dream club and was severely mismanaged during his time in Spain. This resulted in a move to Villa in January, where the Brazilian will now look to resurrect his career.

Coutinho has played 16 times in the Premier League this season and has scored four goals and assisted a further three for the Villans.

The 29-year-old has been very impressive at times but has lacked a little bit of consistency which the midfielder will be hoping to fix for the next campaign.
