Arsenal linked with surprise swoop for Barcelona midfielder

Arsenal are reportedly interested in signing Rafinha from Barcelona this summer.

The Gunners have been previously linked with a move for the Brazilian in previous transfer windows and it seems they are set to revive their pursuit in the coming weeks.

Rafinha spent the second half of last season on loan at Inter Milan and although the Serie A giants are apparently keen to land him permanently, Premier League interest has built in recent times.

West Ham have been heavily linked with a move and according to reports from Italy, Arsenal have also joined the race for his signature.

Unai Emery is evidently keen to bolster his options in the middle of the park and although the Gunners have been more frequently linked with defensive players, Rafinha appears to be a target.

Arsenal and the Hammers are claimed to be willing to meet Rafinha’s asking price, with his future at Barcelona now looking unlikely.
