'I'm always happy, I'm playing in one of the biggest leagues in the world'

Last summer, the Catalan club tried to sign Coutinho and they are expected to renew their interest come the January transfer window, but the Brazilian playmaker has quelled rumours by insisting he is happy with life on Merseyside.

"I'm playing in one of the biggest leagues in the world," Coutinho said ahead of Brazil's friendly against England at Wembley, where the playmaker is expected to feature despite missing out in Liverpool's last three matches.

Declaring himself "100% fit", Coutinho reiterated his happiness, while saying he is currently focused on international duty. "I'm always happy. But now it's important to concentrate on the national team. At the moment I am very happy with my life," he concluded.
