Tottenham 'focus' on other targets as Arsenal become favourites to sign Raphinha
Despite many months of looking like he was destined to move to Barcelona, Raphinha has had increased interest from North London clubs, Arsenal and Tottenham. Whilst Barcelona's interest has been very public, the Catalan club have yet to make a bid and any move for the Brazilian seems unlikely now that Ousmane Dembele appears set to sign a new contract.
That has made the chances of the Premier League rivals being able to attract Raphinha more likely and it seems that Arsenal are leading the race. Reports broke on Saturday afternoon that the Gunners were planning to ramp up talks with Leeds next week, with belief that the player was keen to join Mikel Arteta's side.
