Arsenal should not to sign former Liverpool midfielder Philippe Coutinho, according to former Gunners defender Nigel Winterburn.
The 28-year-old has been linked with a return to the Premier League this summer after falling out of favour during an injury-hit spell at Barcelona.
The cash-strapped Spanish giants have reportedly offered the Brazilian back to Liverpool as they still owe part of the £146million fee they paid for him in 2018.
Arsenal and Everton are also keeping tabs on developments.
But Winterburn, who played for Arsenal from 1987 to 2000, has urged Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta not take an expensive gamble on Coutinho and keep faith with emerging talents such as Emile Smith Rowe, Bukayo Saka and Joe Willock.
