Arsenal are preparing a swap offer for Barcelona winger Raphinha, as per The London Evening Standard.

The English giants are trying to bring in the 27-year-old, and have offered £30 million cash plus striker Eddie Nketiah to make the deal happen.

Barca are set to sell one of their stars in the coming weeks to ease their financial struggles, and may opt to offload the former Leeds United star.

Newcastle United are also considering a move for Raphinha, who still has three more years left in his deal with Barcelona.

The Brazil international is currently valued at €50 million, according to Transfermarkt.
