Emiliano Buendia has rubbished suggestions that he and Philippe Coutinho cannot play together at Aston Villa and reveals he is looking forward to linking up with the Brazilian.
Coutinho completed a loan deal at Villa from Barcelona for the rest of the season this week and could turn out for the Midlands club in their Premier League clash against Manchester United on Saturday.
The 29-year-old's profile as an attacking midfielder who can play out wide has created claims that Coutinho will be rivalling £40million summer signing Buendia for a starting spot in Steven Gerrard's team.
