Arsenal given fresh hope over plans for Leeds attacker Raphinha

 


Arsenal chiefs are refusing to give up on signing Leeds United attacker Raphinha.

The London Evening Standard says Arsenal will discover within the next 24 hours whether their Raphinha chase has any weight to it.

The Gunners were the first Premier League side to launch a bid for the Brazilian, before Chelsea quickly swooped in and offered £55million for his services. The Blues have since agreed a deal to sign Manchester City star Raheem Sterling, which has created some confusion as to whether they are still open to signing Raphinha also.

Barcelona are yet to submit a bid despite expressing interest, with their financial situation potentially not allowing them to do so.

That means that in an ideal world, Arsenal could be left as the last team standing, but they'll find out within the next 24 hours.
