Barcelona playmaker, Philippe Coutinho, is set to complete a loan deal that will see him join Arsenal on loan this summer.
According to Spanish newspaper, Sport, Arsenal’s loan pursuit of Coutinho is at an ‘advanced’ stage after Barcelona have so far failed to find a club that will sign the midfielder permanently.
Coutinho’s agent, Kia Joorabchian, has been working on securing a move to Arsenal for his client.
Joorabchian has a close relationship with members of the Arsenal hierarchy, including Raul Sanllehi, the head of football who is leading negotiations for a deal to sign Coutinho this summer transfer window.
Joorabchian has an ever-growing influence at the North London club having already brought David Luiz and Cedric Soares to Emirates, while also looking to get another one of his clients, Willian, over the line from Chelsea.
