Some Arsenal fans would like to see Philippe Coutinho at the Emirates Stadium for next season after The Sun reported that both the north London club and rivals Chelsea will be offered the chance to sign the midfield player in the summer transfer window.
As per the outlet, both clubs will apparently be offered the chance to sign him from FC Barcelona after his current spell at Bayern Munich ends, or for a reported fee of £75 million.

The German giants have apparently neglected the opportunity to sign Coutinho permanently which may open the door for the Gunners to potentially swoop in.
The 27-year old has scored nine goals and provided eight assists in 32 appearances in all competitions in Germany this campaign, according to Transfermarkt.
One AFC supporter suggested that the club should sell Mesut Ozil and bring in Coutinho as a replacement for the attacking-midfield role. Comparing their stats in both their respective domestic leagues this term, the Brazilian international averages more shots, dribbles as well as long and through balls per match, as per Whoscored.
These Gooners would be happy to see Coutinho at the club for next season as they responded to various Twitter posts from AFTV Media, with one fan branding him a ‘top player’:
GO FOR HIM, SELL OZIL ..PERIOD
