Philippe Coutinho Correia (Brazilian Portuguese: [fiˈlipi kowˈtʃĩj̃u]; born 12 June 1992) is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays for Premier League club Liverpool and the Brazil national team as an attacking midfielder or winger.

Born and raised in Rio de Janeiro, Coutinho showed prodigious talent and excelled in Vasco da Gama's youth system. He was signed by Italian side Internazionale in 2008 for €4 million and subsequently loaned back to Vasco, where he became a key player. He made his debut for Internazionale in 2010 and was seen as the "future of Inter", but struggled to establish himself in the first team and was loaned to Spanish club Espanyol in 2012.

In January 2013, he was signed by English team Liverpool for £8.5 million. He flourished at Anfield; his combination of vision, passing, dribbling and long-range strikes earned him the nickname Little Magician from Liverpool fans and teammates.[3] After he was named in the 2015 PFA Team of the Year, Brazilian legend Pelé tipped Coutinho for a "great future".[4][5]

Coutinho made his senior debut for Brazil in 2010 at the age of 17. He has since made over 20 appearances and represented the nation at the 2015 Copa América and the Copa América Centenario.

Early life

The third and youngest son of Esmerelda Coutinho and architect José Carlos Correia, Coutinho was born on 12 June 1992 in Rio de Janeiro, weighing 3.1 kg (6 lbs 10 oz) as a newborn.[6] He was raised in Rio's northern Rocha district between an old shanty town and industrial warehouses.

As a child, he followed his elder brothers Cristiano and Leandro to a local concrete football pitch, where he first began playing futsal. With space restricted and the need for skill and improvisation heightened, the diminutive Coutinho thrived. After joining a local football academy on the insistence of his friends grandmother, his father was later approached at a tournament by youth coaches at Vasco da Gama, where he attended a trial and joined their youth system.[7]

Club career

Vasco da Gama

Coutinho flourished in Vasco da Gama's youth system, and was soon called up to the Brazil under-15 football team.[7] In July 2008, at the age of 16 he was bought by Italian giants Internazionale for €4 million.[8] Coutinho stayed at Vasco on loan for two years, becoming a first team player despite his young age.[9] In 2009 he helped Vasco win the Série B title and achieve promotion. In 2010 he made 31 appearances and scored 5 goals in all competitions as he established himself as a key first team player.[7]

Internazionale

On 8 May 2011, he scored his first goal for Inter from a free-kick that curled over the wall and into the net in a game that Inter won 3–1 at home against Fiorentina.
