Barcelona midfielder Andres Iniesta has said that it would be "great" if Liverpool's Philippe Coutinho signed for the Spanish club in the near future.

Coutinho, who has been heavily linked with the Catalan club, was the subject of several bids by Ernesto Valverde's side in the summer transfer window.

Liverpool stood firm, however, and Coutinho has proven important for the Reds this term, who sit fourth in the Premier League and face Porto in the last 16 of the Champions League.

"Coutinho is a great team player with lots and lots of talent, he would be fantastic for us," Iniesta told Mundo Deportivo.

"He is equally adept with both feet, he links up well with other players, scores goal and gets between different phases and lines in attack, he would be what we want.

"His qualities fit into how we play and what we want and if the signing is finally complete, it would be great."

Coutinho has netted 10 goals and assisted seven others so far this season.
