Arsenal has indicated strong interest in Barcelona winger as summer transfer target
Arsenal is intensifying its pursuit of Barcelona’s Raphinha this summer, according to TEAMtalk.
The Gunners, eager to bolster their squad after narrowly missing out on last season’s title and maintaining a strong campaign this year, are eyeing reinforcements in various positions.
Mikel Arteta is particularly interested in securing a new striker, midfielder, and right-winger to complement Bukayo Saka.

While Arsenal has been scouting for a right-winger in recent years, they have yet to make a move.
Raphinha, previously of Leeds United, caught their attention with his performances, but he ultimately chose Barcelona.
However, with Barcelona facing financial challenges, they are open to offloading the Brazilian winger to alleviate their financial strain.
Arsenal currently leads the table with 83 points from 36 games, just one point ahead of Manchester City. Despite their strong position, Arteta is keen on strengthening the squad for sustained success in the upcoming season.
The Gunners’ interest in Raphinha reflects their strategic approach to recruitment, aiming to secure players who can make an immediate impact on the team’s performance.
