Arsenal have sent a formal offer to Leeds United for Raphinha if recent reports are to be believed.
The Gunners are keen to bolster their attacking options in the summer transfer window following a disappointing end to the season that saw them miss out on a place in next season's UEFA Champions League, with local rivals Tottenham Hotspur pipping them to fourth. Mikel Arteta's side have been linked with a move for Manchester City frontman Gabriel Jesus and football.london understands that technical director Edu has held talks with the player's representatives in recent months.
Another Brazilian international that is said to be a target for the north Londoners is Leeds winger Raphinha. Now, David Ornstein of The Athletic has reported that they have sent a formal bid to the Yorkshire-based club on Tuesday evening, although the offer is said to be well below Leeds' valuation of the player.
