Arsenal are ready to make a fresh transfer bid for Leeds United winger Raphinha this summer, Goal Brasil claims.
The Gunners have been active since the beginning of the transfer window, and they have already finalised four deals.
Marquinhos, Matt Turner and Fabio Vieira have signed for the club while Gabriel Jesus is set to join this week.
Jesus' arrival could soon be followed by Raphinha's, judging by the Gunners' determination to sign him this summer.
According to Goal Brasil, the Gunners have a meeting scheduled with Leeds this week to try and finalise Raphinha's move.
While Leeds are holding out for £65 million, the Gunners believe an offer of £50 million plus add-ons could seal the deal.
Raphinha was initially keen on joining Barcelona, but the Catalans are in a dire financial situation at the moment.
Amidst this, he has given the green light for a move to the Emirates Stadium, and personal terms should be a formality.
