Arsenal Raphinha transfer race takes huge twist as Gabriel Jesus agrees terms over summer switch

The transfer window is beginning to heat up as we enter another week in the summer market. Arsenal are expected to be one of the busier sides, having already confirmed two deals so far.

With Mikel Arteta ’s squad making their return to the Europa League, the need for depth and arrivals is only emphasised. Promising duo Marquinhos and Fabio Vieira have already been confirmed, while goalkeeper Matt Turner is expected to be announced in due course too.

The moves are unlikely to stop there though, as suggested by director Edu. Speaking to the Arsenal official website, he said: “We will now continue to work hard and are looking forward to finishing this transfer window as strongly possible.”

Raphinha decision

Arsenal have pulled out of the race to sign Leeds winger Raphinha this summer, according to Spanish publication Sport. The report claims that the Brazilian has his heart set on a move to Barcelona instead.
