Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal and Thomas Tuchel’s Chelsea have bid for Leeds United winger Raphinha today, according to Marca.

Marca have reported that Arsenal and Chelsea have submitted proposals for Brazil international winger Raphinha to Leeds ‘in the last few hours’.

The report was published at 11:29am CEST (10:29am BST), which suggests that the bids from Arsenal and Chelsea were made earlier today.

Leeds are considering those offers, while Raphinha is not in a rush to make a decision and prefers to move to Barcelona, who are waiting for a decision on the future of Ousmane Dembele, according to Marca.

Arsenal or Chelsea for Leeds United’s Raphinha?

In our view, Leeds United will sell Raphinha to whichever club between Arsenal and Chelsea are willing to pay more for the Brazil international winger.

After all, if the Whites have to sell the winger, then all they will care about is the money they will get.

It will be interesting to see what Raphinha eventually decides – whether he moves to Chelsea or Arsenal.

Now, both Arsenal and Chelsea are big clubs and globe brands, but the Blues are used to winning big trophies, including the Premier League and the UEFA Champions League.
