Philippe Coutinho: 'Liverpool feels like home, I'm happy and settled'

Philippe Coutinho says that Liverpool 'feels like home' after spending three-and-a-half years at Anfield.

Philippe Coutinho has suggested that he intends to stay at Liverpool for the long term after claiming that Merseyside 'feels like home'.

The Brazil international moved to Anfield from Inter Milan in 2013 and has gone on to become an integral member of the team, having been named the club's Player of the Year for the past two seasons.

In previous transfer windows Coutinho has been linked with moves to Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain, but the 24-year-old is content with life in England.

"Liverpool feels like my home," Coutinho told the Liverpool Echo. "I feel happy, settled and comfortable here with the city and the people.

"It's an amazing city. I enjoy going to the cinema with my wife and to restaurants in town. The supporters are very nice. Hearing people singing my name, it inspires me.

"The fans here make me feel amazing. They give all the players confidence. They are there for us in every game."

Liverpool have the chance to move to second in the Premier League table with a win over Swansea City this afternoon.
