Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal are considering a bid for Leeds United winger Raphinha in the summer transfer window, according to The Telegraph.

The report published at 12:39pm this afternoon has claimed that Arsenal are among a number of clubs who are keen on the Leeds star and could make a bid for the Brazil international winger.

Leeds paid Rennes £17 million for the 25-year-old, according to the report, which has added that the winger is expected to leave Elland Road this summer.

The Brazil international is one of the best wingers in the Premier League and has been superb for Leeds over the past two seasons.

The Leeds no. 10 scored 11 goals and gave three assists in 34 Premier League starts this past season.

The winger scored six goals and gave nine assists in 26 Premier League starts in 2020-21.

Leaving Leeds for Arsenal would be a step-up for Raphinha, who could be tempted by a move to the Emirates Stadium.
