Arsenal Sporting Director Edu Gaspar has been in ‘constant contact’ with the representatives of Barcelona star Raphinha, according to Spanish outlet SPORT.

It is claimed that the Gunners are keen on a potential summer move for the former Leeds United man, who could cost around €70 million-€80 million (£62 million-£71million) to prise away from the Nou Camp.

The winger joined Barca in a £55million transfer from Leeds only last July.

The ex-Leeds star’s agent and former Chelsea star Deco has so far received three formal offers from clubs.
