Arsenal and Newcastle monitor developments with Raphinha as cash-strapped Barcelona consider sacrificing the Brazilian winger to raise funds... less than a year after making a 'dream move' from Leeds

Arsenal and Newcastle are monitoring Raphinha's situation at Barcelona with the LaLiga leaders weighing up whether to sell the Brazilian to raise much needed funds.

Raphinha only left Leeds United for Barcelona in August but there are rumblings along La Rambla that Raphinha could be sold this summer.

The 26-year-old Brazilian did what many others didn't and turned down Chelsea to secure his 'dream move' to Barcelona for £50million.

However, with Barca searching for solutions on how to meet financial guidelines, Raphinha is emerging as one of the most likely candidates to be sacrificed to recoup much needed funds.
