Edu has been told how Arsenal can beat Chelsea to the signing of Raphinha as Mikel Arteta looks to bolster his attacking options ahead of next season. The 25-year-old has been heavily linked with an exit from Elland Road, and a handful of sides have reportedly registered their interest.
Raphinha, who has emerged as one of Europe's most coveted winger's lately, featured 35 times for Leeds United in the Premier League this season, directly contributing towards 14 goals. His impressive displays steered Jesse Marsch's side clear of relegation from the top-flight, securing the club at least a further £35million windfall this summer.
According to Fabrizio Romano, there was a secret clause in Raphinha's contract that is dependent on whether Leeds were relegated or not. Had the Yorkshire-based club been relegated, it would have reportedly activated a £25million release clause.
