Leicester City 'considering shock £20m bid for Philippe Coutinho'

Leicester City are considering a surprise move for Barcelona midfielder Philippe Coutinho, according to reports in Spain.

The 29-year-old has failed to live up to expectations since joining the Catalan giants from Liverpool in a reported £105million move, scoring just 15 LaLiga goals in 64 Spanish top-flight appearances.

The Brazilian has not played for Barcelona in 2021 after suffering a serious knee injury which ended up requiring two surgeries against Eibar in late December.
