Leeds United appear to be becoming more and more resigned to losing star winger Raphinha in the summer but Elland Road scouts could have been watching the Brazilian’s ideal replacement for a while.
Meanwhile, Newcastle United have been linked with several players for the past few months including a stand out at Ligue 1 side Lens but it now looks like Tottenham Hotspur could move for the player.
Aston Villa have been linked with Brighton’s Yves Vissouma and Arsenal with Villa’s Douglas Luiz but one pundit belives the Gunners should “go for the jugular” and attempt to sign the Seagulls’ star.
Elsewhere, Burnley boss Sean Dyche has commented on the performances of their big January deadline day signing and says he would like the player to be more ‘selfish’ in-front of goal.
Liverpool are reportedly preparing a £25m move for a Serie A star while Manchester United are thought to still be keen on a Bundesliga attacker this summer.

Finally, Aston Villa are targeting a Bundesliga defender who is set to become a free agent and Barcelona could be about to move for an Arsenal centre back.
