Arsenal transfer news: Gunners step up chase for Raphinha and close in on Gabriel Jesus
Gabriel Jesus looks on during the UEFA Champions League Semi Final
After agreeing a deal in principle for Man City forward Gabriel Jesus, Arsenal are now turning their attention to Leeds United’s Raphinha as they look to further bolster their attacking options.
Following last season's departures of Alexandre Lacazette and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Arsenal were left with two sizable voids in the attacking department.
One of the holes is likely to be filled by Manchester City forward Gabriel Jesus, whose deal is almost over the line after the Gunners reached an agreement in principle with the Premier League champions.
However, the player has just come off his worst goalscoring season in five years, and was set for reduced playing time in Manchester with Pep Guardiola securing the signatures of Erling Haaland and Julian Alvarez.
Gunners target Raphinha
Leeds United rejected Arsenal's opening bid for Brazil international Raphinha, however the London outfit are expected to have another shot at the forward.
