Arsenal linked with Raphinha after missing out on Mudryk

Barcelona forward Raphinha is being linked with a move to Arsenal after the Gunners seemingly missed out on Mykhailo Mudryk.

The Gunners had looked set to sign Mudryk from Shakhtar but have been unable to agree a fee and now look set to lose the youngster to Chelsea.

FC Shakhtar president Rinat Akhmetov and Chelsea co-owner Behdad Eghbali discussed Mykhailo Mudryk’s transfer to Chelsea FC today.

All of which means Mikel Arteta’s side are now looking for alternative reinforcements and have apparently turned their attentions to Raphinha.
