DBasia.news – Arsenal legend Martin Keown is pessimistic the Gunners can get Barcelona midfielder, Philippe Coutinho.
Coutinho has had a bad time since being brought off from Liverpool in January 2018. Although often allowed to appear by Barcelona, but fans seem unable to accept its quality on the field.
Coutinho’s hopes were indeed quite high because Barcelona had to pay 145 million euros to bring him to the Nou Camp. While he was only able to contribute 11 goals and five assists from 54 appearances in various events.
“It’s unfortunate to think that it doesn’t make sense when that could be a real possibility. I would love to see Coutinho at Arsenal without a doubt, he is a great player who is a little lost, but I think there is too much hope he will come to Arsenal,” said Keown.
“He is a high-quality player, the way he moves from the deep midfield position, his shooting ability. It is a mystery why it did not go well for him in Barcelona. It will be a very interesting transfer for Arsenal,” Keown added.
