Indeed, according to the reporter’s information, it is believed that Tottenham have now ‘told’ the Whites they ‘want to make a bid’ for Raphinha this summer.

### The Verdict: Table the offer…

Raphinha stood out as a really key player for Jesse Marsch’s side last season, as per numbers from [WhoScored.](https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/19/Show/England-Leeds)

\[freshpress-poll id=”399157″\]

The Brazil international finished 21/22 as their top goal scorer whilst taking a higher number of shots, making more key passes and completing the most dribbles per 90 out of anyone in their squad.

He also stood out as their best-performing regular by average match rating ([WhoScored](https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/19/Show/England-Leeds)), leaving little wonder members of the media have called Raphinha a ‘colossal’ player for Leeds over the past two seasons ([Leon Wobschall, Leeds Live)](https://twitter.com/LeonWobYP/status/1429112552450052102).

Indeed, the 25-year-old could be a real asset for Conte if he can replicate that form in north London.
