Arsenal are reportedly the frontrunners to land Philippe Coutinho on loan next month, with the Barcelona outcast understood to prefer a move to the Emirates over their Premier League rivals.
Coutinho, 29, has been linked with a host of English clubs after falling out of favour at the Nou Camp. New Barca boss Xavi has informed the Brazilian that he can expect limited minutes under his stewardship.
Arsenal, Everton, Tottenham and Newcastle have been alerted to Coutinho's decline at Barcelona and are all reportedly keeping tabs on the former Liverpool star.
