Schalke midfielder: 'Great news that Coutinho plays in Bundesliga. He's what Bayern needed'

Philippe Coutinho joined Bayern Munich on a one-year loan with a buy option. Omar Mascarell, a former Real Madrid man who's currently playing for Schalke 04 as a defensive midfielder, has shared thoughts on the Brazilian's arrival in Germany speaking to Goal:

"It's great news that Coutinho plays in the Bundesliga.

"He was certainly the player that Bayern needed – one who provides danger between the lines with his power of shooting and combination.

"He will definitely harmonize perfectly with Thiago and Robert Lewandowski."
