In what will be one of the most exciting moves of the entire window, the Brazil star has agreed to return to the Premier League until the end of the season.
The deal sees Coutinho reunited with his former Liverpool team-mate Steve Gerrard.
Indeed, Villa boss Gerrard was the key factor in Coutinho’s decision to sign for Villa given his close relationship with the Anfield legend.
Following talks with Gerrard, attacking midfielder Coutinho was left completely convinced that a move to Villa Park was the right move for him.
And there is a massive confidence at Villa that Coutinho will hit the ground running to become one of the stars of the second half of the season.
Sportsmail revealed Villa’s efforts to sign Coutinho on Wednesday afternoon and the deal has moved on rapidly since then.
A number of clubs across the Premier League and Europe were keen on Coutinho but the influence of Gerrard has been key in the 29-year-old choosing Villa.
