Aston Villa playmaker Philippe Coutinho has reportedly been given a career lifeline.

The former Liverpool and Barcelona star is being offered a chance to revitalize his career in Turkey.

Per Milliyet in Turkey, Besiktas are the team that have the strongest interest in Coutinho.

The diminutive attacker has struggled since signing permanently for Villa from Barca.

While he excelled during a loan spell at Villa Park, his form since signing permanently has been sub-par.

A favorite of previous boss Steven Gerrard, who had Villa near the relegation zone, Coutinho has been unable to play much for Unai Emery.
