Simon Grayson has said on BBC Radio 5 Live (2:48pm, November 7, 2021) that Leeds United made a bargain signing in Raphinha.
The former Leeds manager made the comments about Raphinha while watching him in action against Leicester City at the weekend.
The Brazil international winger scored at Elland Road, as Leeds played out a 1-1 draw with Leicester in the Premier League.
Grayson said about Raphinha on BBC Radio 5 Live (2:48pm, November 7, 2021): “He is an absolute steal for the transfer fee that Leeds paid for him. He just makes things happen.”
Leeds United fan favourite
Leeds fans were raving about Raphinha after the match against Leicester.
Just as they do every week.
The Brazil international is arguably the best, the most talented and the most skilful player at Leeds at the moment.
The winger is brilliant on the ball, gets past opposition players with ease, works hard for the team, creates chances and scores goals.
Raphinha is a manager’s dream.
And, according to BBC Sport, Raphinha cost Leeds just £17 million when they signed him from Rennes in the summer of 2020.
The Leeds no. 10 has scored five goals in 10 Premier League matches for so far this season.
The 24-year-old scored six goals and gave nine assists in 26 league starts last season.
