Report: Arsenal, Tottenham have rivaling bids to land Leeds United star

Tottenham Hotspur will be in the market for a forward this summer to add scoring depth behind Harry Kane and Son Heung-min. Various players are connected to fill this role in the north London club, and one of them is Leeds United Raphinha. 

According to Italian football journalist Gianluigi Longari, Spurs want the 25-year-old and is ready to submit an offer of £50-million plus £10-million in add-ons. Furthermore, this isn’t the only offer on the table for the Brazil international. 

The Athletic reports that Arsenal has submitted a bid hoping to land the Leeds United star for next season. Nonetheless, Raphinha has yet to decide where he wants to play in 2022-23, but it might not be in Barcelona.

Longari adds that Barcelona was always the first choice for the winger, but the Spanish side has been unable to reach a deal with the Premier League club; as a result, the door has opened up to other suitors.
