According to rumours, Chelsea is interested in signing Leeds United winger Raphinha at the end of the season.
The Brazilian has been a standout performer for Marcelo Bielsa this season, scoring eight goals in the league.
As a result, numerous Premier League clubs, notably Chelsea and West Ham, have expressed interest in him.
Chelsea has expressed interest in acquiring the winger. He will, however, most likely stay at Leeds in January. According to transfer expert Gianluigi Longari, Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel will instead attempt to recruit Raphinha in the summer transfer window.
Chelsea will face heavy competition to sign the winger, with West Ham also rumoured to be interested.
Raphinha is thought to be a 'priority signing' for David Moyes, who has the backing of co-owner David Sulliv in his pursuit of a deal. Despite this, the winger is under contract with Bielsa's team until 2024, with the possibility of an extension.
Leeds are eager to sign Raphinha to a new contract and would be willing to pay him more to do so.
Raphinha is currently on international duty with Brazil, where he started in their 1-1 draw with Ecuador on Thursday.
