Arsenal 'set to make £50million bid for Raphinha' as Mikel Arteta's side look to beat Tottenham and Barcelona to sign Leeds winger as part of recruitment drive

Arsenal are planning to make a £50million bid for Leeds star Raphinha.

As reported by The Times, the Gunners are eager to sign the Brazil international despite interest from Tottenham and Barcelona.

Barcelona had been heavily linked with a move for Raphinha but that deal now looks unlikely to happen.

Arsenal are set to make a bid of u00a350million for Raphinha as they look to sign the Leeds winger

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has been hugely impressed by Raphinha's performances for Leeds, with the winger having scored eleven goals and provided three assists in the Premier League last season.

If he joins Arsenal then it could see Bukayo Saka switch to the left flank, with Nicolas Pepe a candidate to leave the club.
