Leeds United winger Raphinha has intimated he's happy at Elland Road.

The 24-year-old arrived in England as a relatively unknown quantity just over a year ago from Ligue 1 side Rennes, but has looked right at home in the Premier League.

When asked if he felt he could achieve his goals at his current club, Raphinha told BBC Radio Leeds: "Without a doubt.

"When you bring together players with a real, strong, winning desire together with the manager, the coaching staff, fans who love the club, you create a wonderful atmosphere in the stadium and at the training ground."

The forward, who made his international debut for Brazil last month, went on to praise Bielsa for the influence that he has on the team and individual players.

He added: "Marcelo Bielsa demands a lot of us. We know that. We're used to it. We listen to him. He helps us develop and evolve as players, as professionals.

"We listen to him and we play his style of football. That's the football that has given us attention in the Premier League, made us stand out in the Premier League and made Leeds a Premier League team."
