Double trouble? Arsenal plots hijacking of another Tottenham summer target

Arsenal has reportedly landed one target linked to Tottenham Hotspur in Manchester City striker Gabriel Jesus, and now they’re looking to land another. According to the Express, The Gunners are planning a fresh approach for Leeds United star Raphinha. 

The English media outlet adds that Arsenal has set its eyes on the 25-year-old winger for their next move of the summer transfer market, having reportedly had a proposal of £50 million turned down last week. 

Furthermore, the north London side has held talks with Leeds United over the Brazil international amid the interest from Spurs and Barcelona. After avoiding relegation, Leeds United can command whatever price they seem fit for their star player.

Tottenham wants to be able to add scoring depth behind their two star players in, Harry Kane and Son Heung-min. Nonetheless, Arsenal has Raphinha as their top target, so it will be interesting to see whether Spurs want to get into a bidding war with their rival or focus their attention elsewhere.
