Arsenal have joined Manchester United, Chelsea and Barcelona in the race to sign Leeds United winger Raphinha, if recent reports are to be believed. The Brazilian has been heavily linked with a move away from Elland Road this summer, having impressed with his club.
The links come ahead of what is set to be a busy summer for Mikel Arteta in strengthening his squad. The Spaniard managed to guide his team to fifth this season, an improvement on previous campaign, but still not enough to return to the Champions League.
Two problems for the Gunners was the lack of squad depth and the lack of a prolific striker throughout. Discussing the plans in the transfer market, Arteta said: “We are going to have certain resources, not unlimited resources, some resources.
