Arsenal dealt Coutinho blow

Arsenal have been dealt a blow in their pursuit of Barcelona's Philippe Coutinho after club president Josep Bartomeu confirmed he could stay.

The upheaval of Barca's humiliating 8-2 Champions League defeat to Bayern Munich has seen Ronald Koeman replace Quique Setien as manager, meaning Coutinho could have a future at the Camp Nou.

During the announcement of Koeman's appointment, Bartomeu gave an update on the squad and the Brazilian playmaker, saying: "Coutinho can stay here, if Koeman wants him."

It is believed Arsenal are keen to bring Coutinho to north London on loan, but it looks like their chase could come to nothing.
