Arsenal reportedly intend to make a fresh approach for Barcelona playmaker Philippe Coutinho over the coming weeks.

While the Gunners were heavily linked with a move for Coutinho earlier in the summer transfer window, there has been minimal talk regarding a switch to the Emirates Stadium during September.

Newly-appointed Barcelona boss Ronald Koeman allegedly wishes to keep the Brazil international in his squad for the 2020-21 campaign.

However, according to Sport, Arsenal are not prepared to give up on the former Liverpool man, aware that the Catalan giants may need to boost their financial position.

The Premier League outfit are said to feel confident that Barcelona officials would allow a transfer to take place should they receive a suitable offer.

The La Liga runners-up have recently raised funds with the sales of Nelson Semedo and Arturo Vidal, while Luis Suarez is also on the brink of signing for Atletico Madrid.
