Some Liverpool fans on Twitter were impressed by the performance of reported target Raphinha for Leeds United against Wolverhampton Wanderers on Friday evening.

Raphinha started for Leeds in their Premier League game against Wolves away from home at Molineux Stadium which the visiting team lost 1-0.

The 24-year-old winger has been playing well for the Whites this season, and the Brazilian had yet another good game for Marcelo Bielsa’s side.

The winger was very good from set-pieces and caused Wolves quite a few problems.

Raphinha could have probably done better in open play, but overall it was a very good game for the winger.

According to WhoScored, the winger took four shots and one was on target, played six key passes, had a pass accuracy of 71%, won one header, took 78 touches, attempted three dribbles, made three tackles, four interceptions and four clearances, and put in 13 crosses.

Liverpool have been linked with Raphinha, with JuveLive reporting earlier this month, as covered by HITC Sport, that the defending Premier League champions are interested in signing the winger in the summer of 2021.

The report in the Italian news outlet has claimed that Leeds have already identified Douglas Costa as a potential replacement for Raphinha.

Some Liverpool fans were impressed by the Leeds star’s performance last night and have raved about him on Twitter.
