Philippe Coutinho has joined Aston Villa on a six-month loan from Barcelona, as first revealed by The Athletic.
It is understood that the opportunity to play under Steven Gerrard was the key factor in the Brazil international’s decision to return to the Premier League.
Villa are believed to hold an option to by Coutinho for £33 million as part of the deal.
A number of Premier League clubs had been interested in the 29-year-old.
Gerrard described Coutinho as a “world-class individual and player” on Thursday.
“I do appreciate that his name is out there and that he’s linked to Aston Villa, but there are also five other clubs in the Premier League and others across Europe who are linked with him,” Gerrard said.
“I can understand that because you’re talking about a world-class individual and player.
“He’s a wonderful footballer.
“To share a pitch with Coutinho was a great experience because he was on a level that few footballers are on. His imagination, his creation, and also some of the highlight reels are incredible. His name speaks for himself. But I can’t say any more than that.”
Barcelona were keen to get Coutinho’s high salary off the books so they can register new £55 million signing Ferran Torres.
Coutinho previously spent six years in the Premier League playing for Liverpool. In total he made 201 appearances for the Anfield club, scoring 54 goals.
