'Not convinced' - Arsenal warned off Coutinho gamble by Winterburn as Willock impresses

The former Gunners defenders sees no reason to snap up a former Liverpool playmaker when there are young stars coming through

Philippe Coutinho is said to be registering on Arsenal's radar again, but Nigel Winterburn is "not convinced" that the former Liverpool star, who has lost his way somewhat since joining Barcelona, is the right option for Mikel Arteta.

Each passing transfer window brings with it fresh speculation surrounding a Brazil international that left English football for Camp Nou back in the winter of 2018.

Coutinho's stock remains high in the Premier League, where he flourished across five years at Anfield, but the 28-year-old has regressed during his time in Spain - and during a loan stint at Bayern Munich - and it may be that he struggles to attract an elite suitor.
