Gary Lineker sends message to Philippe Coutinho following his transfer to Aston Villa

Philippe Coutinho has completed a loan move to Aston Villa earlier today (January 7th). Following the Brazilian's transfer from Barcelona, Gary Lineker has sent a tweet message to the midfielder. The agreement between the clubs includes an option to buy. Coutinho will travel to Birmingham within the next 48 hours. This what Lineker had to say about this high-profile signing.

"Very exiting (sic) acquisition for @AVFCOfficial in Philippe Coutinho," he tweeted.   "No question the Steven Gerrard pulling power would have played a huge part."
