Signed in Leeds‘ first summer back in the Premier League from French side Rennes, Raphinha starred under Marcelo Bielsa. He played 67 times over the next two seasons and had a hand in 29 goals for Leeds
Even during Jesse Marsch’s first few months, Raphinha sparkled in a Leeds shirt. In his last appearance for the club, Raphinha won and scored a penalty in the 2-1 win at Brentford to keep Leeds in the top tier.
Since leaving Leeds, Raphinha had his critics for the first couple of seasons with Barcelona despite 44 goals and assists in 86 games. But this season, Raphinha has sparkled with five goals and three assists.
Those eight involvements have come in just eight games, after Raphinha rejected an £85m move to Al-Hilal in the summer. Now, Raphinha may just be able to help former side Leeds make a marquee signing.
Raphinha is arguably Leeds’ best left-sided winger since the turn of the century. Right now, that position is filled by on-loan Tottenham star Manor Solomon, who has enjoyed a mixed start to his loan at Leeds.
There is no doubt Leeds will be looking into the possibility of a permanent move for the Israel skipper. Meanwhile, expert Fabrizio Romano says Tottenham are long-term admirers of Barcelona’s Raphinha.
“Raphinha has always been attractive to several clubs. There was interest from Chelsea and interest from Arsenal. He’s always been a player of interest for Tottenham, they have always appreciated him.”
