Suarez says Coutinho has ambition to join Barcelona

Luis Suarez says Philippe Coutinho is ambitious enough to want to move to Barcelona.

Suarez played with the Brazil international at Liverpool during the 2013/14 season and has spoken of his admiration for his former team-mate's ability.

After failing to sign Coutinho last summer, Barcelona are thought to be planning a new effort to bring the Liverpool midfielder to the Nou Camp in the January transfer window.

Asked if Coutinho would want to sign for Barcelona, Suarez told Mundo Deportivo: "Obviously he must have because he's a player who has ambition and any player would want to come to Barca.

"I know him as a person and as a player because I played with him, but everyone knows what Coutinho can contribute.

"He is a footballer, who today, plays at a very high level."
