Raphinha was one of the most sought-after attackers in the Premier League during the off-season, but it seems that the Brazilian has finally found a new club. David Ornstein from The Athletic reports that Chelsea is close to reaching an agreement with Leeds United for the acquisition of Raphinha. Fabrizio Romano not only confirmed this information but also claims that the clubs have already reached a final agreement. The 'Blues' will pay around 60 million pounds for the 25-year-old forward. It is worth noting that when it comes to rumors about Raphinha, Chelsea was always mentioned but not as the main favorite. Arsenal, who negotiated with Leeds for a while, failed to reach an agreement, even in the last days when an improved offer was made. Tottenham also contacted the Leeds club, but did not submit any specific offer. This is an excellent player for Chelsea coach Thomas Tuchel, as the German wanted a player who could play one-on-one on the field. The 'Blues' just have to agree on personal terms with Raphinha.
