It may be correct though they may well have bid it but he was PSG bound.
Arsenal were always intent on building their squad and if they need a CB they'll buy one and if they think Coutinho will help them they'll try to get him, I never underestimate them but too many people do.
Two days ago I never gave Coutinho a second thought and now even though we are in the frame I am not convinced it will happen.

This is honestly worse. I'd much rather they sign Coutinho and end up with 8 players who can't defend on the field per game. They already have 2 players in Ceballos and Ozil who play a role just as effectively as Coutinho against 15 of the 20 teams in the league.

A proper defender or two and they will have a team worth being scared of.

ARSENAL are in talks to sign Philippe Coutinho on a season-long loan transfer from Barcelona.

The Gunners are close to bringing the former Liverpool playmaker, 27, to the Emirates.

Arsenal are in talks to sign Barcelona star Coutinho on a year-long loan

However, it is believed a second unnamed club is in the running to land Coutinho and could beat the Gunners to the punch.

Sounds like Ceballos saga all over again...

Although this time I am very positive there will be an option to buy or at least an opportunity to negotiate one. Barca want him out. He's not a project like Ceballos

Julian Laurens knows his Arsenal stuff.
If he comes out with this tweet, good enough for me.

Strange club these days...the goons that is.

I mean they definitely have a fair bit of cash stuffed in their metaphorical sofa and seemed determined not to spend it. In the last couple of weeks however, there is button marked "panic" that seems to have been pressed and they are now are some scatter gun, utterly random spending spree.

i dont know what is going on anymore

I’m happy to be proved wrong, but I’m telling you I’m 99% certain Coutinho will not sign for Arsenal.

They declared their interest to catch some headlines and are working hard on defensive signings in the background. #AFC

I’ve backed this guy up multiple times the past few days. He’s very solid. He was one of the first to call Pepe to Arsenal, Cutrone to wolves. He’s good with arsenal news particularly

Koscielny just left Arsenal, they're really in need of new central defender.
