Espanyol have completed the signing of Inter Milan midfielder Philippe Coutinho on-loan.
The attacking midfielder will join the Catalan outfit on a five-month deal.
"However, I will only be away for five months.
"I need to play and I think I can do well at Espanyol before returning here.
"I would like to thank all of the fans but I will be back. I'm an Inter supporter myself and I think we can win the league this season.""I've come here to pick up my stuff and say goodbye to everyone," Coutinho said on Monday to Sky Sport Italia.
