Chelsea interested in Leeds winger Raphinha

Chelsea are interested in signing Raphinha from Premier League rivals Leeds United in the summer transfer window, according to The Athletic. The report has claimed that Leeds are open to selling the Brazil international winger, and that London outfit Arsenal are among the clubs keen on securing the services of the 25-year-old.

The report has claimed that Leeds do not think that Raphinha will sign a new contract, and that the West Yorkshire club are open to selling him. The Whites narrowly avoided relegation from the Premier League this past season.

Raphinha made 34 starts and one substitute appearance in the Premier League for Leeds this past season, scoring 11 goals and providing three assists in the process. The Leeds no. 10 made 26 starts and four substitute appearances in the league in 2020-21, scoring six goals and providing nine assists in the process.
