Coutinho left <a href=\"https:\/\/lwosonfootball.ms.lastwordonsports.com\/2019\/06\/17\/liverpool-southampton-matt-targett\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Liverpool<\/a> for <a href=\"https:\/\/lwosonfootball.ms.lastwordonsports.com\/clubs\/barcelona\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Barcelona<\/a> in January 2018; however, the move has not gone as planned.<\/p>\n<p>The Brazilian has been in and out of the Barcelona side and admits he could leave. <a href=\"https:\/\/lwosonfootball.ms.lastwordonsports.com\/feeds\/chelseafootball-co\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Chelsea<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/lwosonfootball.ms.lastwordonsports.com\/feeds\/manchesterunitedfootball-co\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Manchester United<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/lwosonfootball.ms.lastwordonsports.com\/clubs\/paris-saint-germain\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Paris Saint-Germain<\/a> are also reportedly interested. A move to United would seem unlikely due to his Liverpool connections. Jurgen Klopp is interested in strengthening his side and the return of Coutinho could, should it happen, prove to be an excellent signing.<\/p>\n<h2>Latest Arsenal Transfer Rumours<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/lwosonfootball.ms.lastwordonsports.com\/2019\/06\/18\/arsenal-two-year-contract-policy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Arsenal<\/a> have seen an opening offer of \u00a315 million rejected by <a href=\"https:\/\/lwosonfootball.ms.lastwordonsports.com\/2019\/03\/08\/old-firm-celtics-quest-treble-treble-rival-rangers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Celtic<\/a> for <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/fce2302c\/Kieran-Tierney?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Kieran Tierney<\/a>. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mirror.co.uk\/sport\/football\/transfer-news\/arsenal-told-kieran-tierney-price-16701112\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Mirror<\/a> report that the Scottish champions want \u00a325 million for the left-back. Celtic are under no pressure to sell the 22-year-old and will hold out for the fee they want. Whether Unai Emery is willing to spend that much of his transfer budget remains to be seen.<\/p>\n<p>Matt Law of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.telegraph.co.uk\/football\/2019\/06\/21\/atletico-madrid-aim-sign-arsenal-right-back-hector-bellerin\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Telegraph<\/a> is reporting that <a href=\"https:\/\/lwosonfootball.ms.lastwordonsports.com\/2019\/06\/18\/joao-felix-atletico-madrid-false\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Atl\u00e9tico Madrid<\/a> are interested in Hector Bellerin. They are willing to offer Vitolo, who has played for Emery previously, as part of any deal.<\/p>\n<p>The Gunners value the defender, who has four years remaining on his contract, at \u00a350 million. Bellerin, who has been out injured since January, is not thought to be available for transfer. However, this will not stop Atl\u00e9tico from testing the waters.<\/p>\n<h2>Watford Enter Race for Heaton<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/lwosonfootball.ms.lastwordonsports.com\/2019\/05\/18\/manchester-city-domestic-treble-fa-cup-final-watford\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Watford<\/a> have entered the race to sign <a href=\"https:\/\/lwosonfootball.ms.lastwordonsports.com\/2019\/06\/07\/leicester-citys-james-maddison-number-ten-england-need\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">England<\/a> international <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/a6de6361\/Tom-Heaton?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Tom Heaton<\/a>. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thesun.co.uk\/sport\/football\/9345442\/watford-burnley-tom-heaton\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Sun<\/a> report that Hornets boss Javi Gracia wants a new goalkeeper and had set his sights on Heaton. Watford, however, will face competition for the shot-stopper. Premier League new boys <a href=\"https:\/\/lwosonfootball.ms.lastwordonsports.com\/clubs\/aston-villa-club-news-analysis-fixtures\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Aston Villa<\/a>, as well as Bournemouth,\u00a0are also interested.<\/p>\n<p>Heaton has rejected a new deal at <a href=\"https:\/\/lwosonfootball.ms.lastwordonsports.com\/clubs\/burnley\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Burnley<\/a> and has just one year left on his current contract. Burnley, therefore, could decide to cash in this summer rather than risk losing him for free next year. It is believed that Heaton would cost \u00a35 million.<\/p>\n<p>With <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/d596e193\/Heurelho-Gomes?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Heurelho Gomes<\/a> leaving at the end of last season, Watford want competition for <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/d0b3ceb9\/Ben-Foster?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Ben Foster<\/a>.
