Richard Dunne believes his former side Aston Villa should target summer moves for Leeds United duo Raphinha and Rodrigo Moreno. Villa are set to have money to spend in the upcoming transfer window as they look to back Steven Gerrard ahead of his first full season in charge.
Raphinha and Rodrigo have both been important players for the Whites this term, with the latter in particular taking a prominent role since the appointment of Jesse Marsch. The Spain international has netted six goals so far this campaign, three of which have come in the last four matches, where his form has been a huge part of Leeds’ resurgence in form.
Meanwhile, his teammate Raphinha has also been vital to keeping Leeds out of the bottom three, particularly in the first half of the campaign. The 25-year-old has scored 10 goals and provided three assists this season and his form has seen him linked with moves to the likes of Barcelona and Liverpool.

Dunne was speaking on behalf of Irish Grand National sponsor BoyleSports and is hopeful of a big summer of transfer action at Villa Park. He has earmarked the Leeds duo as two players who would be great additions for Gerrard’s side.
He said: "You look at Raphinha and Rodrigo, they'd be good to bring in. There's obviously talk of Kalvin Phillips going there and that'd be a great signing.
"You're looking for a star player in each position. It seems like they have a lot of money to spend, but it'll be interesting to see who he targets."
