Arsenal star could get new role if Raphinha completes £65m transfer - and it's not Bukayo Saka

Arsenal's pursuit of Leeds United winger Raphinha has prompted many questions surrounding the future of Bukayo Saka, but that needn't be the case as the pair can play in the same side.

Whilst the Gunners have already had a bid knocked back by Leeds for the Brazil international, it was reported by The Athletic over the weekend that more talks are planned with an increased offer for the 25-year-old expected - although it may take parting ways with £65m to get a deal done.

If successful and Arsenal do manage to complete the signing of Raphinha before the opening game of the new Premier League season on August 5 then Mikel Arteta will certainly be spoilt for choice when it comes to selecting who should start on the right-wing against Crystal Palace.
