Liverpool signs Coutinho from Inter Milan

LIVERPOOL, England (AP) — Brazil playmaker Philippe Coutinho has joined Liverpool from Inter Milan.

The 20-year-old Coutinho was signed in a deal worth around €10 million ($13.5 million) on Wednesday, a day before the January transfer window closes. He is Liverpool's second arrival this month following the signing of England striker Daniel Sturridge from Chelsea for 12 million pounds (about $19 million).

Coutinho says Liverpool "are the club that have been interested in me and that have showed this interest so I know they believe in me and my football." His contract was only described as "long term" by Liverpool.
