The Brazil international will join up with Steven Gerrard’s side with them currently sat 13th in the Premier League.
The 29-year-old played alongside Gerrard during his time at Liverpool and he’ll now have the opportunity to play under his former captain at Villa Park.
The midfielder is seeking regular first-team football in order to earn a place in Brazil’s World Cup squad for the upcoming tournament in Qatar at the end of the year.
A video from 2017 has now resurfaced on social media showing the ex-Inter Milan man explaining that our former No. 8 was ‘one of the best’ he’s played with.
Coutinho scored 54 goals in 201 appearances for us – he’ll be hoping to impress once again in the English top-flight in the coming months and fire Villa up the table.
