'Can he still do it?' - Coutinho to Leicester intrigues Heskey amid Barcelona exit talk

The former Foxes frontman would like to see the Brazilian playmaker at the King Power Stadium and has hailed the work of Brendan Rodgers

Emile Heskey would like to see Philippe Coutinho reunited with former Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers at Leicester, but admits there are question marks over the Brazilian and his ability to perform at the highest level.

A dream move to Barcelona was made by the 29-year-old midfielder in January 2018, but a spell at Camp Nou quickly became a nightmare and another move could soon be on the cards.

It has been suggested that Coutinho, who spent six productive years at Anfield, will look to retrace his steps to England, with ambitious Leicester mooted as a potential landing spot.
