Tottenham Hotspur are among various clubs in the mix to sign Leeds United star Raphinha in the summer window.
For the past few months, Barcelona have been pushed forward as the main contender in the chase for the 25-year-old.
It has also been widely reported the La Liga side have an agreement in place with the winger, but are unable to agree a deal with Leeds due to their financial situation.
This allowed Arsenal to take lead to secure the Brazil international’s services, with Sport even suggesting they have an agreement in place with the Whites. The Gunners’ interest in Jesse Marsch’s man has also been reported in the UK.
Sportitalia journalist Gianluigi Longari took to Twitter to relay claims made in the English press about Arsenal interest, and then went on to provide his own information on Spurs.
