Rumoured Arsenal target Philippe Coutinho returns to Barcelona training early and is reportedly determined to fight for his place at the club after a loan spell away.

Barcelona midfielder Philippe Coutinho is reportedly determined to fight for his place in the side following his return from Bayern Munich.

The 28-year-old spent the 2019-20 campaign on loan with Bayern, helping the German outfit to claim a treble and scoring twice in their 8-2 win over parent club Barcelona in the Champions League quarter-finals.

Coutinho had been deemed surplus to requirements by Ronald Koeman's predecessors Ernesto Valverde and Quique Setien, and has been heavily tipped to leave Barcelona again this summer, either on loan or on a permanent basis.

However, The Mirror reports that the Brazilian wants to prove himself to new manager Koeman as he looks to play a role in the club's new era.

Coutinho declined the opportunity for an extra rest period after his involvement in the Champions League final and returned early to training with Barcelona on Friday.

The former Liverpool playmaker had been linked with the likes of Arsenal, Manchester United and Manchester City in the Premier League.
