It has been reported by the British tabloid that Leeds have agreed to pay French club Rennes a transfer fee up to £21 million for the 23-year-old winger.
Derby in the Championship also wanted the youngster, but the lure of playing in the Premier League means that Leeds are set to sign the Brazilian, according to the report.
Raphinha stats
According to WhoScored, Raphinha has provided two assists in five Ligue 1 matches for Rennes so far this season.
During the 2019-20 campaign, the 23-year-old scored two goals in four Portuguese league games for Sporting Lisbon before moving to Rennes in the summer of 2019, according to WhoScored.
The Brazilian winger scored five goals and provided three assists in 22 league matches for Rennes last season, according to WhoScored.
Good signing for Leeds United?
Raphinha is a good winger who scores goals and creates chances for his teammates, and he would make Leeds better in the wide areas and would give head coach Marcelo Bielsa another good option.
