ARSENAL have earmarked Leeds winger Raphinha as a potential summer signing.
The addition of Vieira will provide important competition and creativity to Arteta’s midfield options. It comes after the Premier League prematurely published a profile page for the 22-year-old in its website.

Arsenal have not made significant developments on a transfer for Leeds ace Raphinha despite holding a firm interest in signing the Brazilian, Express Sport understands. Porto playmaker Fabio Vieira will likely be announced as a Gunners player in the coming days. Raphinha’s 11 Premier League goals were a key reason behind Leeds remaining in the top-flight last term.

If it's to stay or leave, I'll do my best, look for my space and I'll try to be well for the World Cup."

Fernandes has talked up the Leeds star, whom he connected with impressively on the pitch. Raphinha is no different and his agent Deco has even agreed personal terms with the Camp Nou outfit, who are in the midst of a rebuild under Xavi. Instead Leeds have slapped a £60m price tag on the winger despite the player's future being far from shored up, with contract talks ongoing.

The Gunners are expected to announce the signing of Fabio Vieira very soon. Last season saw Mikel Arteta splash over £140 million on new recruits and we could see a similar outlay this time around.
ARSENAL are said to be closing in on a summer move for Leeds United winger Raphinha.
The Spaniard recently admitted that it would be difficult to compete with other top English clubs in their efforts to land new players, though, due to the increasingly competitive nature of the summer market. It is said that Arsenal have offered a higher salary than the Catalan giants, who have already settled on personal terms with Raphinha but have been reluctant to meet Leeds' asking price. A fee of around £43million will reportedly be needed to tempt Leeds into selling the Brazilian forward and it seems as though Arsenal could be preparing to meet their demands over the coming days.
Fabrizio Romano has shared the response of Leeds United as Barcelona try and lowball their way to an agreement for Raphinha this summer.
He reached an agreement with Barcelona on personal terms, so Raphinha has an agreement. “Leeds are super happy, of course with staying in the Premier League, but also with Raphinha’s value because now they are not going to accept €40million. When they see rumours about €40million for Raphinha, they say it’s absolutely impossible to sell for that fee for a fantastic player.” The reliable journalist has insisted that the Whites believe it is “impossible” to sell the Brazilian for only €40million [£34.3m] after staying in the Premier League.

The songs, the shouts. "I'd be watching the Prem with my dad on the free-to-air channels. That has allowed Arsenal to steal a march on their rivals.
Leeds United will face increasing pressure this week over the sale of Raphinha, with Arsenal intensifying their interest in the Brazilian star.
While not yet linked with a move to Elland Road, Leeds would be shrewd to go back to Rennes for Jeremy Doku - the man signed by the French club to replace Raphinha in 2020. A fast and skillful dribbler with an impeccable first touch, Lang likes to pick up possession to feet and run at opposition defenders. Multiple wide forwards / wingers have already been linked with a move to Elland Road and those rumours are set to intensify as the sale of Raphinha looks more likely. Club Brugge winger Noa Lang has been a target at Elland Road for some time now, and there’s good reason for that. Valued at around £8.5million, Plata could prove a snip compared to the £40-50million potentially coming in, but that of course comes with its own risk. But their hesitance to meet Leeds’ valuation has opened the door for top Premier League sides to flash some cash of their own.

That could scupper their chances at signing Raphinha, with the Catalan giants still needing to do plenty of salary gymnastics ahead of the new season. While Barcelona were heavily linked with a move for the 25-year-old, their current financial situation means they still need to sell players in order to register any incoming signings.

All the latest Arsenal news and transfers as they happen in our live blog on Tuesday, including the latest on Raphinha, Fabio Vieira and Kieran Tierney.
Instead, because there's a lack of competition to sign the 24-year-old, Arsenal are focused on getting other signings over the line first, but a deal could be resurrected at a later stage. He said on Twitter: "Never say never but Arsenal interest in Youri Tielemans has seemingly cooled. Arsenal are in direct contact with Leeds for Raphinha." Given lack of other suitors & dwindling Leicester contract (expires 2023), deal could be revisited later in window. Today we will have updates on the chase for Raphinha and Fabio Vieira, as well as interest in Kieran Tierney. The agreement is still there but Barcelona have no agreement with Leeds on the fee. Never say never but Arsenal interest in Youri Tielemans has seemingly cooled. If Barcelona want to sign him, they must change their proposal. So Arsenal are doing serious with Raphinha. End of February, start of March, Deco, Raphinha’s agent reached an agreement with Barca on personal terms. £140 million was spent last summer and a similar amount could be splashed again as Mikel Arteta looks to bolster his side. Arsenal are expected to make a £50 million bid for Raphinha this summer, according to The Times. If he were to sign for that amount, he would become the Gunners' joint-third most expensive signing in history following the arrival of Ben White for the same fee last summer.
Arsenal believe the imminent £34million signing of Fabio Vieira from Porto could help them land Leeds United winger Raphinha this summer.
The relationship Arsenal have built up with Gestifute and Mendes during the talks to sign Vieira could now play a big role in deciding Raphinha’s next club, while the speed and professionalism with which the Gunners agreed a deal with Porto is also valued highly – particularly compared to how protracted talks with Barcelona have been. However, Barca remain in the race and Raphinha has made it clear he is willing to wait to see if the Catalan giants do eventually stump up the cash required to sign him, while Tottenham are also keeping tabs on the situation. According to The Telegraph, there is a feeling around the north London club that the smooth nature of their deal for Vieira could be a big boost to their hopes of signing Raphinha – with both players represented by the same agency, Gestifute.
