Former Tottenham goalkeeper Paul Robinson thinks the club should be looking at Philippe Coutinho in the summer.

The Brazilian playmaker could be on the move, as he is set to return to Barcelona from his loan spell at Bayern Munich.

The German giants will not sign him permanently, and Barca want to cash in. And Robinson thinks he would elevate Spurs creatively.

Former Spurs goalkeeper Robinson toldFootball Insider: "I can see him [joining] a top-six Premier League side – Tottenham included.

"You saw how good he was at Liverpool and when he went to Barca you expected big things from him but it did not work out and he got moved onto Bayern.

"The Premier League may be a realistic option for him. Whether it is Liverpool or Tottenham he would be an asset anywhere he went.

"Listen, if you can get a player like that then you have decisions to make on what you have in your squad. What does Jose want to work with?

"If you get the option to sign a world-class player like Coutinho you look at the squad and you offload in other areas to allow a player of that quality into your squad."
