Newcastle's new owners want Philippe Coutinho in January

The Brazilian midfielder is struggling at Barcelona and could head back to the Premier League

Newcastle’s new owners, effectively Saudi Arabia, want the club to make moves in the January window to boost the squad. Philippe Coutinho of Barcelona and Juve’s Aaron Ramsey are the names on the table per the Daily Express.

The objective of the new owners is to take a competitive jump forward.

The club is now in the hands of the Saudi investment fund PCP. It will change their future, perhaps in the same way as Abu Dhabi did for Manchester City.

With this money they will look to splash the cash, potentially on former Liverpool playmaker Coutinho.

The No 10 is only just back from injury and is still well liked in England.
