The standout star has proven on multiple occasions throughout his career that he is one of the elite players in the world. While he’s shown inconsistencies in his most recent stints Barcelona and Bayern Munich, it still doesn’t take away the prowess that he possesses.

During his stay in the top tier English team, he showed up for 201 appearances. With all of those games, he managed to score on 54 separate occasions. To add to these, he also assisted with 45 goals.

Per Everything Barca, teams are still eying for the services of the offensive star to suit up for their respective clubs. Arsenal will reportedly have to pay 9 million Euros to secure a loan for Coutinho. Similarly, the pressure will also be immense for Coutinho if he takes a chance to sign with Newcastle.

While these teams remain as options, Tottenham has also been one of the more aggressive squads recruiting the Brazilian star.

According to Goal, former player Darren Bent has been adamant about how someone of Coutinho’s caliber can benefit Tottenham.

“You’re talking about a top, top player who knows the Premier League very, very well. It’s not like you’re taking a risk,” Bent said.

“Coutinho’s a top player, he’s a superstar signing that Spurs need and even if it’s on loan, that’s the sort of superstar that they need to maybe encourage other superstars to come there,” Bent added.

The next few months will be interesting to monitor given how the teams are slowly bouncing back provided the current situation. Expect Coutinho to weigh his options well and see where he can bounce back as the superstar he’s known to be.
