Arsenal FC are leading the race to sign Raphinha from another Premier League side Leeds United this summer. Arsenal are looking to bolster their attack this summer by signing the Brazilian winger. It seems Raphinha will leave the club this summer, but where will the Brazilian forward land is still unclear.

Raphinha is wanted by so many clubs this summer. Italian football journalist Fabrizio Romano reported on Monday that FC Barcelona also want to sign Raphinha this summer. But his price tag of 60/70 million may put Barcelona on doubt whether to sign him or not. Arsenal are pretty clear about signing Raphinha as they need a winger.

“Barcelona agreed personal terms with Raphinha, but no agreement on fee with Leeds. Arsenal are in direct negotiations with Leeds, interested since March,” tweeted Fabrizio Romano on Monday.

The other two clubs interested in Brazilian winger are Chelsea and Tottenham. But the deal with these clubs seems unlikely now (as per Fabrizio Romano). Some reports also suggest, Manchester United also need a right-winger this summer and sees Raphinha as a potential option.
