Philippe Coutinho completes move to Barcelona

    Philippe Coutinho has completed his much-anticipated move to Barcelona.

    The Brazilian playmaker arrived at the Nou Camp from Liverpool for a fee worth £142m.

    Coutinho, 25, will not begin immediately due to a right thigh injury, which kept him out of Liverpool’s 2-1 win at Burnley on New Year’s Day. It is estimated he will be unavailable for selection for around three weeks.

    He said: "I am very happy, it's a dream come true and I hope to be up to the job on the field."
