Plenty of Leicester City fans have been reacting to a transfer update on former target Philippe Coutinho.
The Foxes were linked with a move for the 28-year-old last summer, however, Coutinho, who worked with Brendan Rodgers at Anfield, remained with the Catalan giants.
Coutinho has made just 14 appearances in all competitions this season, missing the whole of 2021 so far through injury.
