The 23-year-old was announced by the Elland Road outfit last night, becoming the fourth player to join the senior team this summer after the signings of Rodrigo Moreno, Robin Koch and Diego Llorente.

While he wasn’t unknown to many Leeds fans until a few days ago, Raphinha must be a special player for head coach Marcelo Bielsa to sanction his move.
