Leeds tabled a bid for the 23-year-old yesterday and it appears that they have wrapped things up ahead of tomorrow’s transfer deadline.

English Championship side Derby County have also been linked with Raphinha, but the chance to play in the English Premier League is definitely more tempting, and the Brazilian could be lining up for the Elland Road outfit after the international break if the latest report is indeed true.
