Arsenal and Spurs to swoop for Barcelona star?
Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur are considering a summer move for Barcelona winger Raphinha, according to Sport.
The Brazilian was on the radar of the north London giants last summer but he rejected them to join Barcelona instead.
The former Leeds man has since impressed with nine goals and 10 assists but there are claims that he is not entirely happy.
Raphinha is worried over the club's pursuit of Lionel Messi and believes he could be forced out during the summer.
As a result, the door is now open for a Premier League return. Both Arsenal and Spurs are expected to make a move.
The Gunners could be in a strong position to sign him ahead of Spurs, considering they are back in the Champions League.
Arsenal confirmed their berth in the elite competition following Brighton & Hove Albion's defeat at Nottingham Forest.
Barcelona have yet to set an asking price for the winger but it was reported in January that he could cost around €75m.
