# Liverpool: Fans are desperate to sign Leeds star Raphinha

**A number of Liverpool fans are desperate for the Reds to bring Leeds United star Raphinha to Anfield, following another impressive performance.**

The Brazilian played a key role in the Whites’ 2-1 win away to Fulham on Friday night, [scoring the winning goal](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/56369110) at Craven Cottage.

Raphinha has proven to be a superb signing since [arriving](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/54415316) from Rennes last October, bringing a huge amount of quality to Marcelo Bielsa’s side.

His winner on Friday was his [sixth goal](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/300447/Show/Raphinha) in the Premier League this season, with the 24-year-old also chipping in with five assists.

Such has been Raphinha’s level of performance in 2020/21, Liverpool have been [linked](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-9244995/Liverpool-set-sights-summer-Leeds-star-Raphinha.html) with snapping him up from Elland Road this summer.

The forward is viewed as someone who could add more quality and depth to the Reds’ attack, potentially acting as a long-term replacement for Mohamed Salah, considering he is four years younger.

On Friday’s evidence, Raphinha would be a wonderful addition to Liverpool’s squad, as Jurgen Klopp’s men look to respond from a hugely disappointing defence of their league title.
