Aston Villa head coach, Steven Gerrard has tagged former Liverpool star, Philippe Coutinho ‘invaluable’ after passing medical ahead of moving on loan from Barcelona.
The Villans established that the Brazil international went through successful medical tests.
The club also added that the 29-year-old got his hands on a work permit while in France.
The former Bayern Munich star is, therefore, billed to join his new teammates on Wednesday at Bodymoor Heath training ground.
Having previously spent time together at Anfield, Liverpool legend thought Coutinho will have a great influence on his U-turn to the Premier League.
Gerrard revealed this via a statement on his club’s website on Monday, 10th.
Gerrard said: “His presence will be invaluable, given injuries and the AFCON tournament have reduced our attacking options.”
“He is a player I enjoyed playing with previously and I know the rest of the squad here at Aston Villa will benefit from his quality and experience.”
