Arsenal are set for a tough battle to secure the signature of Raphinha ahead of next season. However, Edu’s close relationship with his agent Deco could play a major part in persuading the Brazilian to make the switch to the Emirates Stadium.
On Tuesday evening, The Athletic’s David Ornstein had reported that Arsenal had a bid rejected by Leeds United, with the player also not viewing the Gunners as a preferred move with Chelsea and Barcelona both linked to the winger. Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has quoted Raphinha to cost around £65million.
Raphinha would certainly enhance Arteta’s firepower for the new campaign. It is Edu’s close relationship with Deco that could play a major factor.
