Arsenal End Interest in Late Philippe Coutinho Deal as Barcelona Star Offered Again By Agent

Arsenal will not make a Deadline Day offer to sign Barcelona forward Philippe Coutinho, with the player once again being offered around by his agent Kia Joorabchian.

The Brazil international was spectacularly linked with an imminent move to Emirates Stadium earlier this week and although those rumours were quickly played down, Coutinho's agent is still actively looking to offload the 27-year-old this summer.

Arsenal have considered a move for Coutinho ahead of the new Premier League season, but Fabrizio Romano now confirms that the former Liverpool talisman is no longer being lined up as a transfer target on Deadline Day.
