The Athletic‘s latest report on the interest in Raphinia that we reported on yesterday revealed that the winger is being chased by Arsenal and Tottenham as well as Chelsea.
That all adds to the storng strong interest from Barcelona we were hearing about earlier in the year.
Today a new team has thrown their hat into the ring – West Ham are now being linked to the Leeds star according to a report on 90 min today.
Now obviously that’s not as dangerous to Chelsea as the interest from bigger and richer teams, but it’s another warning that the competition will be hot for the Brazilian’s signature.
If nothing else, West Ham can push the price up with their attempts to secure the former Sporting winger in.
If Chelsea want him, they will have to move fast – not only in terms of making offers, but also in terms of starting the process of selling their existing options.
