Liverpool leading Man Utd in race for Leeds star Raphinha

Liverpool have jumped to the head of the queue to sign Leeds United winger Raphinha.

The 24-year-old earned a lot of praise after his first season in the Premier League with Marcelo Bielsa's newly promoted side.

Both Manchester United and Manchester City want to sign the creative star.

However, The Express reports that Liverpool hold the best chance of signing Raphinha.

Any deal would be very difficult though as Leeds are eager to hold onto a player who scored seven goals and provided 11 assists in all competitions this past season.

Speaking recently, Raphinha admitted his pride being targeted by England's biggest clubs, but added that he was happy at Elland Road.

He said: "I have four years remaining on my contract and I'm not even thinking about leaving here for exactly this reason. I am happy and making others happy."
