We 'signed' Raphinha for Arsenal this summer and he was sensational for Mikel Arteta

Arsenal are reportedly interested in signing Leeds winger Raphinha as Mikel Arteta looks to strengthen his squad ahead of next season.

The Gunners are expected to strengthen their attacking options this summer after the departure of Alexandre Lacazette on a free transfer, with the Frenchman returning to Lyon, five years after moving to north London from the French outfit. Arsenal are still yet to replace Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang who left the club in the January transfer window and could opt for a more versatile forward who can play wide and centrally.

Raphinha was the star man for Leeds as the Whites narrowly avoided relegation last season, but the Brazilian has been heavily linked with a move away from Elland Road this summer. Gabriel Jesus is a target for the Gunners, but it's Jesus' Brazilian compatriot that is now rumoured to be on the Gunners' radar for a move to the Emirates ahead of next season.
