Glen Johnson says Barcelona midfielder Philippe Coutinho would be happier choosing Tottenham over Arsenal should he leave the Nou Camp.
For Liverpool fullback Johnson reckons that Tottenham would be a better fit for Coutinho as a move to Arsenal would only dent his confidence even further since they're in a period of transition.
He told Bettingodds.com: "He's linked with the two big north London clubs, and if he was to go to one of them, then I'd say Tottenham if I'm being honest.
Philippe [Coutinho] knows that he's not in a great position at the moment, and if he was to go to an Arsenal side who are struggling, then that could affect him even more."
Gunners boss Mikel Arteta secured a deal for Martin Odegaard from Real Madrid instead, but the Spaniard has retained an interest in the 29-year-old.
Spurs are also in the mix as they look to get back to being a top-four club and convince Harry Kane to stay put.
