Aston Villa attacker Philippe Coutinho is attracting interest from Saudi Arabia.

It's understood Coutinho's agent, Kia Joorabchian, is in talks with an undisclosed Saudi Pro League club about a move to the Middle East.

While Villa boss Unai Emery has hopes of reigniting Coutinho's form, there'll be little pushback should the Brazilian ask to be allowed to leave.

Villa will seek a nominal fee to sell, with the Saudi club ready to table a bumper contract offer in the coming weeks.

The SPL outfit plan to sign Coutinho at the end of the Premier League season.
