Raphinha has revealed that he was given just 20 minutes to make a decision on joining Leeds United, with the Brazilian chasing a Premier League dream as a summer transfer window prepared to slam shut.
The Whites moved late to prise the Brazilian forward away from Ligue 1 side Rennes, with top-flight newcomers giving themselves little time in which to further bolster Marcelo Bielsa's ranks before another market closed for business.
Fortunately for them, Raphinha had always wanted to ply his trade in the English top-flight and was able to offer a green light to a deal that has worked out well for all concerned.
