Deadline day – all eyes on Raphinha deal. Should move quickly this morning. He landed in England late last night. Agreement in place with Rennes. #lufc

The Brazilian landed in England last night following his side’s 2-2 draw with Reims, and is already undergoing a medical.

Securing a work permit for Raphinha isn’t expected to be a problem, and he could be ready to make his Leeds debut when they host Wolverhampton Wanderers after the international break.
