Raphinha ‘very close’ to signing for Arsenal - report

Leeds United winger Raphinha has been linked with a Barcelona move this summer but could be about to sign for Premier League side Arsenal.

The Brazil international is said to be “very close” to joining the Gunners, who could even complete the transfer some time this week, according to Goal.

The report reckons that Raphinha isn’t prepared to wait for Barcelona to get their finances in order, while Leeds have apparently heard nothing from the Catalan giants recently.

It has been previously reported that Barca have already agreed personal terms with Raphinha and have been helped in their transfer dealings as Deco is his agent.
