Coutinho: Arthur is a great player with a lot of quality LaLiga - Barcelona Happy with the signing

Barcelona's signing of Arthur has been well-received by Philippe Coutinho, who is looking forward to playing alongside another Brazilian at the Camp Nou.

Coutinho, who impressed with Brazil at this summer's World Cup despite their early exit, is keen to get onto the pitch with his compatriot, who he knows from the national team.

"He is a great player who I met once on international duty," Coutinho said.

"He has a big personality and a lot of quality too.

"You can see when he plays how good he is and I can also say that off the field he is a great guy."
