Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal will make a new bid for Tottenham Hotspur target and Leeds United winger Raphinha, according to The Daily Mail.

Arsenal to make new bid for Tottenham target Raphinha

The Daily Mail have reported that Arsenal have had an initial bid of £30 million for Raphinha turned down, and that the Gunners now plan to get closer to £50 million to convince Leeds to sell him the Brazilian, described as “incredible” by former Elland Road player Stephen Warnock on the Football Show on Sky Sports in May 2022.

The North London club reportedly believe that the 25-year-old wants to join them.

Tottenham and Chelsea are interested in Raphinha as well, according to The Daily Mail.

The report has added that although Leeds value the Brazilian at £65 million, they will sell him for a fair offer.

Transfer happening?

In our view, if Leeds United have placed a valuation of £65 million on Raphinha, then Arsenal will have to pay that much in transfer fees.

We do not think that Arsenal will be able to sign the winger for £50 million if Leeds want £65 million.

Now, of course, Raphinha will have personal ambitions, but he has a contract at Leeds, who are not forced to sell him, especially as they will play in the Premier League next season.
