£55m star Mikel Arteta has already tried to sign says he loves Arsenal
Raphinha turned down the chance to move to Arsenal inꦿ the summ🐽er when he left Leeds United, choosing Barcelona instead.
He eventually made a switch to t💝he Camp Nou after being at the centre of one of the biggest transfer sagas of last summer.
Raphinha was even linked again in January, although it seems the Barca move was a dream come true for him and one he does not 🌄want to give up eaꦦsily.
But he was asked in a video with Adri Contreras which other teams apܫart from Barcelona he likes, and cited Pari🐽s Saint-Germain and Arsenal.
Raphinha says he loves Arsenal
He said: “Me encanta Arsenal,” which when translated from Spanish into English means: “I love Arsenal.♍”
A cynic may say that Raphinha i🎃s♌ just mentioning teams he knows may come in to sign him if he ever does leave Barcelona.
But he could have mentioned his former club Leeds, and also Chelsea, who were in for him in the summer and have hardly been shy about spending money sinꦦce.
On Thursda💙y night, Raphinha offered English fans a reminder of his quality when Barcelona hosted Manchester United in the Europa League.
He set 𒉰up Marcos Alonso’s opening goal, and then scored himself when his teasing cross floated all the way in, and was visibly upset to be taken off late on.
Arsenal and Leeds fans no doubt would have enjoyed seeing Raphinha net against United, one of their bitterest rivals, but perhaps Gunners supporters feel the🐼 time for the winger to really declare his love for the club has passed last summer.
