Arsenal will make a new offer for Leeds winger Raphinha after opening £30m bid was rejected

Arsenal are making a revised offer for Leeds United winger Raphinha after their initial £30million bid was dismissed.

Arsenal believe the 25-year-old is keen to join them amid rival interest from Barcelona, Chelsea and Tottenham.

Their opening bid, believed to be £30m plus a further £10m in add-ons, was rejected last week but they plan to get closer to £50m in the hope that will satisfy the Elland Road club.
