Aston Villa have agreed a deal to bring in former Liverpool playmaker Philippe Coutinho on loan from Barcelona until the end of the season.
The deal, which is subject to a medical and a work permit being granted, includes an option to buy the 29-year-old for £33m at the end of the season.
Coutinho joined Barcelona in a £142m move from Liverpool in January 2018.
However, the Brazil international has not had the expected impact and Barcelona are keen to lighten their wage bill.
Arsenal, Everton, Newcastle and Tottenham were also linked with a move for Coutinho.
