Leeds United 'make offer for Raphinha'

Leeds United have reportedly identified Rennes winger Raphinha as a potential signing on transfer deadline day.

The Yorkshire giants have brought in a mixture of youth and experienced players since securing a return to the Premier League.

However, according to Goal, head coach Marcelo Bielsa remains keen on improving his squad before close of play on Monday night.

The Argentine wants to finalise a deal for Raphinha, who has played a key role in Rennes' excellent start to the Ligue 1 campaign.

The 23-year-old, who can play on both flanks, has contributed a total of seven goals and seven assists from 35 appearances since joining the French club last summer.

Despite his record, Rennes are said to be open to offers for the Brazilian, who has also been linked with Derby County.
