Premier League clubs are set for a battle to secure the signature of former Leeds winger Raphinha, with several English teams interested in the Brazilian international. Raphinha is expected to leave Barcelona this summer, with Saudi Pro League clubs also expressing interest in the 27-year-old.

Tottenham Hotspur have been linked with Raphinha, and an unnamed English club reportedly made a £60 million bid for him in January. Since joining Barcelona two years ago for up to £56 million, Raphinha has struggled to hold down a regular place but has still managed nine goals and 12 assists in 35 appearances this season. Raphinha’s impressive performances at Leeds, where he scored 17 goals and provided 12 assists in two Premier League seasons, have attracted attention.

While there has been speculation about a return to Leeds, financial constraints are likely to hinder any move.Barcelona are keen to sell Raphinha to fund their pursuit of Athletic Bilbao’s Nico Williams, who has been in excellent form, scoring seven goals and providing 16 assists this season. Williams played a crucial role in Bilbao’s Copa del Rey triumph, their first since 1984.

Here is the skills highlight video of Raphinha.
