Leeds United have reportedly had an offer of €30million (£26million) rejected for Portuguese winger Otavio, but the Yorkshire-based club are set to make another bid soon that will equal his release clause of €40million (£34.3million). The proposed move is good news for Arsenal as it means that Jesse Marsch has already eyed a replacement for Brazil star Raphinha.
Arsenal are set to be one of the Premier League's busiest clubs this summer as they prepare for the return of European football to the Emirates Stadium. Despite being pipped to the Champions League by Tottenham there was plenty for Arsenal fans to be excited about last season and the break could be equally as riveting. Last season saw Mikel Arteta splash over £140million on new recruits and we could see a similar outlay this time around.
The Gunners announced the signing of Fabio Vieira on Tuesday, with the announcement following the arrival of Marquinhos last week. Another name on their wish list, however, is Raphinha.
