Arsenal have submitted an official bid for Leeds United winger Raphinha which the club are expected to turn down imminently, according to the Athletic . The Gunners have taken pole position in the race for the Brazilian after Barcelona backed away from negotiations, and are the first to make an official approach.
Chelsea, Tottenham and Liverpool have all shown a fleeting interest in the 25-year-old, whose preferred destination is the Nou Camp, but it is Arsenal who have made the first significant move with a tabled bid. But while the exact value is unknown, it is said to be some way short of Leeds’ valuation and they are in the process of turning it down already.
And after the news broke, Whites fans took to Twitter to have their say.
