Arsenal are one of the frontrunners in their attempts to sign Raphinha from Leeds United. The Gunners have faced an uphill battle, with serious interest from Barcelona, Chelsea and Tottenham.
Arsenal have agreed on the signing of Gabriel Jesus after already confirming Marquinhos and Fabio Vieira, with Matt Turner shortly expected to follow. Despite their absence from the Champions League, Mikel Arteta and Edu have so far pushed through with their priorities in the summer window.
The difference, and challenge, with Raphinha, is the player’s preference to join Barcelona. As reported by The Athletic, Arsenal’s first bid was turned down by the West Yorkshire side.
