Barcelona playmaker Philippe Coutinho could reportedly be on his way back to the Premier League as a number of teams have been in touch with the player's agent.

Philippe Coutinho's agent has been swarmed by Premier League clubs interested in signing the Barcelona playmaker, according to a report.

The Brazil international has struggled to hold down a regular place in Barca's starting lineup since joining in a £142m transfer from Liverpool last year.

Coutinho once again failed to make a telling impact on Wednesday night as the Catalan giants beat his former club 3-0 in their Champions League semi-final first leg, leaving the field to jeers when substituted in the second half.

With his time at Camp Nou not going to plan, Spanish outlet AS claims that the 26-year-old could be heading for a swift return to the English top flight.

A number of unnamed sides are said to have been in contact with Coutinho's representatives.

Manchester United and Chelsea are the Premier League teams to have been credited with an interest over the past six months.
