Raphinha is one of the top wingers in the Premier League, having been outstanding for Leeds over the last two seasons, and his form and exploits have piqued the interest of Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur in North London.
Arsenal and Tottenham are both interested in signing the 25-year-old winger in the summer transfer window, according to The Athletic.
Raphinha is also said to be a target for Barcelona.
Raphinha’s move to Arsenal is now said to be conditional on Nicolas Pepe’s departure, according to The Athletic.
According to the source, Pepe wants to leave Arsenal, and the Gunners will only be able to sign the £63,000-a-week Raphinha (SalarySport) if they can sell the £140,000-a-week Ivory Coast international (Spotrac).
Tottenham Hotspur, in our opinion, has the upper hand over Arsenal in the fight for Leeds United winger Raphinha.
Tottenham will not have to sell any players in order to acquire the winger, but Arsenal will not be able to get Pepe if they are unable to sell a player.
Spurs will also compete in the UEFA Champions League next season, and they have a world-class manager in Antonio Conte, who has a track record of success.
