Barcelona 'are studying Tottenham and Chelsea defenders that could be included in a Philippe Coutinho swap deal worth £80m' as London sides join Newcastle in race to sign Brazil star

Barcelona are reportedly looking at defenders at Tottenham and Chelsea that could be included in a potential swap deal for Philippe Coutinho.

The Brazil star is expected to leave the club this summer and wants a return to the Premier League with Tottenham, Chelsea and Newcastle the current frontrunners for his signature.

Coutinho had been offered to Juventus and Inter Milan but the two Serie A sides turned down the chance to sign him because they couldn’t meet Barcelona’s demands.
