Arsenal hope the signing of Porto midfielder Fabio Vieira will help them land Leeds United winger Raphinha this summer.
The Gunners have struck a £34m deal to land the Portuguese starlet as they look to bounce back from missing out on Champions League football last season. The Telegraph report both Raphinha and Vieira are represented by the same agency, Gestifute, who brokered the latter's prospective deal to the Emirates.
The smoothness of the negotiations is seen as a positive, and it could mean talks between Arsenal and Leeds will proceed in a similar fashion. Gestifute is run by footballing super-agent Jorge Mendes, with Raphinha being represented by former Barcelona and Chelsea midfielder Deco.
