Arsenal, Liverpool and Chelsea have been linked with a move for the Barcelona winger Raphinha at the end of the season.
The 27-year-old winger could be on the move at the end of the season and the three clubs have now been alerted to his availability. According to a report from TBR football, intermediaries have informed clubs that have indicated a desire to sign the Barcelona winger in recent months.

Furthermore, the South American knows the Premier League well having played in it with Leeds United. He could make an instant impact next season.
