Arsenal are reportedly trying again for the transfer of Raphinha after missing out on him in the summer.
The Gunners need an alternative to Mykhaylo Mudryk in attack, with the Ukraine international now closing in on a transfer to Chelsea.
Raphinha could be ideal, with the Brazil international not quite settling in or making the desired impact at Barcelona since move from Leeds in the summer.
However, Raphinha shone in his time in the Premier League and could be ideal for Arsenal, with Edu supposedly in talks with the player’s agent Deco, according to the Evening Standard.
The report notes that Raphinha moved for £55million, but one imagines he surely wouldn’t cost as much now.
One imagines Arsenal could have the most luck signing the 26-year-old on loan, as Barca might also not be too keen to let him go so soon after signing him.
A short-term spell back in England could restore Raphinha’s confidence, and would therefore benefit all parties involved.

Arsenal need an alternative to Mudryk due to a lack of depth up front, Raphinha will want playing time and a chance to revive his career, while Barcelona could benefit from him spending some time away from the club in order to get back to his best before perhaps returning in the summer.
Edu this all doesn’t make any sense ,,,, after missing out on mudryk you go for raphina again after he rejected us for barca😳😳 be serious it’s rather you bring back Pepe he’s better than raphina 10× c’mon be serious with your club please 😥💔,,let’s keep focused on winning the league and remaining matches
If kronke doesn’t have money to buy quality players to hell with him, let him sell the club to a serious person who would afford to do so. Up till now, they haven’t buy any single player. What a bullshit. Kronke out. He doesn’t even watch football so what is the use of having him as owner?
Is Raphina really that good? He’s underperforming at Barca and didn’t do better in the world cup either
Lost out on Felix Lost out on Mudryk ….Chelsea’s bitches LOL
That’s what happens when a club is run solely by its owner…and of course they’re going for every single Arsenal target out there…that should tell you something.
They doing everything humanly possible to stop Arsenal from winning the title this season…although I think it be crazy if arsenal still went on to win the league without Mudryk and Felix.🤣🤣🤣
Arsenal is slow at desion making, mudryk was arsenal’s but becoz of that they missed out. So the board should learn to be quick in making.
They weren’t slow at decision making. They had a limit which was what they thought he was worth and were negotiating based on that limit.
Just go and buy zaha premier league proven and an arsenal fan,a lot cheaper than these other players that could flop just like Pepe did,
Sort it out arsenal or we will blow are best chance in years to win the league.
Why not go for Zaha. The guy likes us and should be cheaper by now. He’s proven with the Epl. I wish I was Kronke.
