Chelsea has joined the competition between Tottenham and Arsenal for Leeds United winger Raphinha.
The Brazilian star, who was a crucial player last season and finished the season with 11 goals in the Premier League, is being pursued by Arsenal in negotiations with Leeds.
Despite interest from Arsenal and Tottenham, the Brazillian international wants to leave Elland Road this summer and has settled on Barcelona as his preferred location.
Barcelona has the resources to match Leeds’ valuation, but they are hesitant to go.
According to reports, the Gunners made a proposal for Raphinha, but Leeds rejected it because it fell short of their £50 million asking price.
According to a new claim from Mail Online, Thomas Tuchel’s Blues are’serious’ about making a bid to Leeds in the hunt to recruit the Brazilian winger.
Raphinha has also received contact from Tottenham.
