Leeds United are expected to reject Arsenal's opening offer for Raphinha - but will not stand in the 25-year-old's way if their valuation is met.
The Brazil international has made a huge impact at Leeds over the past two years, netting 17 Premier League goals in 65 appearances. After enjoying a fine maiden season in English football last year, Raphinha's influence has grown at Elland Road over the past 12 months after he played a pivotal role in ensuring Jesse Marsch's side retained their top-flight status.
Unfortunately for the Whites, Raphinha's dazzling form has not gone unnoticed, and various European clubs have flirted with making a move for the ex-Rennes man in recent weeks. But it's Arsenal who have tabled the first concrete proposal for the coveted star, according to The Athletic.
