I was surprised to see Raphinha become the target among the topflight clubs, his efforts for Leeds United in the previous season of the English Premier League must have earned him the attention he is getting at the moment.
In case you don't know Raphinha, he is a Brazilian who plays currently at Leeds United. His club side didn't have a great season as they struggled to escape relegation, they finished 17th with just three points above Burnley. Although they were caught up in the relegation battle, one wouldn't dispose of the fact that they have got quality talent and Raphinha is one of them.
The previous season's campaign ended with him scoring 10 goals and three assists in total for the club in the English Premier League, and regardless of the numbers, he is a force to reckon with among the rising wingers in the Premier League.
Arsenal, Tottenham, and Barcelona have shown interest in the winger and that tells how much potential they have seen in him, I bet he will achieve more with a club with better qualities than Leeds United. Among his qualities is the ability to use any of his legs, he is left-footed but can play as a right-winger as well.
It is easier for him to go for the big name bidding for him at the moment but it will be wise if he considers his playing time as well.
Let's have a check run through his chance with the clubs bidding for him at the moment.
Barcelona
I can't guarantee his place with the Spanish giant, but if he wants to have an impact on himself and the club then Barcelona isn't the right place for him.
Barcelona can guarantee him a title in a few years but it would be very difficult for him to show the quality he possesses. If he is more of the name hype then Barcelona is the place but if he wants to be great as an individual, I bet that's not the best place.
Tottenham.
With Son in the limelight, it would be difficult for Raphinha to take the left winger position. Kulevski has been holding the right wing position for Tottenham and he has been great since his arrival, it would be a tight competition between him and Kulevski which might result in not having a proper playing time in Tottenham.
Arsenal
Arsenal seems to be the perfect place for him, his role is less competitive in the North London club and he should definitely have a good playing time.
It is going to be a tough decision to make and he has to make the right decision judging by the fact that he still has a long way to go and one wrong step can change everything for the rising star. Failing to choose a team that would give him proper playing time would definitely reduce his exposure to higher opportunities in the future.
I hope he makes the right decision, this would definitely be his stepping stone to bigger opportunities.
