Everton 'join the race' to sign Philippe Coutinho in January
Everton are in the race to sign Philippe Coutinho from Barcelona in the summer, as per Spanish outlet AS.
The former Liverpool midfielder is willing to link up with Rafa Benitez at the blue half of Merseyside as he seeks regular playing time.
Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur are also in the running to sign the Brazilian next month.
Coutinho is ready to return to the Premier League after failing to get a regular place at Barca under Xavi.
He enjoyed a prolific stint with Liverpool in England a few years ago, scoring 41 goals in 152 Premier League appearances for them.
