Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea will go head to head to sign Barcelona attacker Philippe Coutinho this summer, according to a report.

Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea are reportedly at the head of the queue to sign Barcelona attacker Philippe Coutinho in this summer's transfer window.

The 26-year-old joined Barca from Liverpool in January 2018 and has scored 19 times in 64 appearances for the Spanish champions in all competitions.

The attacker's future has been the subject of much speculation in recent weeks, though, with Barca believed to be open to selling him this summer after an inconsistent campaign to date.

Manchester United have been linked with a move, but according to Sport, PSG and Chelsea will go head to head for Coutinho's signature in this summer's transfer window.

The report claims that Chelsea see the playmaker as a replacement for Eden Hazard - strongly linked with Real Madrid - while PSG's interest in the South American 'has always been maintained'.

The Blues are currently banned from signing new players but will attempt to postpone the suspension, suggesting that they are preparing to spend big ahead of the 2019-2020 campaign.
