Arsenal 'schedule' Leeds transfer meeting as Raphinha asking price revealed

Arsenal have scheduled a meeting with Leeds United to discuss a potential transfer for Raphinha if recent reports are to be believed.

The north Londoners have been heavily linked with a move for the Brazilian international in recent times as manager Mikel Arteta looks to bolster his attacking options this summer. Hale End academy graduate Bukayo Saka played all 38 Premier League matches last season and bringing Raphinha to the Emirates Stadium would help lessen the offensive burden on Saka, with the former Lille star netting 11 league goals for a struggling Leeds team last term.

The Athletic reported last week that the Gunners' first bid for the 25-year-old was turned down by the west Yorkshire side, although they are widely expected to return with an improved offer in the coming days. Now, transfer guru Fabrizio Romano has taken to social media to deliver an update on the situation involving the talented winger, claiming that Arsenal have scheduled a meeting with Jesse Marsch's side for some time this week.
