Philippe Coutinho has signed a loan contract with Aston Villa from Barcelona until the end of the season.
On Friday, the club announced that they had reached an agreement to bring the playmaker to Villa Park.
On Tuesday, the 29-year-old arrived in Birmingham, with the club later confirming the transfer had been finalised.
Coutinho, who will wear the number 23 shirt, is returning to the Premier League after a five-year stint with Liverpool from 2013 to 2018.
The Brazil international is reunited with former Reds team-mate Steven Gerrard, who replaced Dean Smith as manager at Villa Park in November.
Having endured an injury-hit spell with Barca, Coutinho could make his debut in this weekend’s Premier League showdown with Manchester United.
