Leeds United key headlines: Raphinha, Kalvin Phillips and ex-Whites star's moving letter

Arsenal reportedly submitted the first bid of the summer window for the Brazilian international on Tuesday evening, as reported by The Athletic, but it is understood that the bid fell well short of United's valuation of the player.

The bid is expected to be rejected out of hand but reports suggest that Tottenham Hotspur are now ready to submit an offer of £50m plus £10m add-ons.

Barcelona's interest in Raphinha has been well documented for some time but the Spanish giants are yet to make a bid and have financial issues to contend with.

Chelsea have also been linked with a bid for the Whites winger.

As part of a busy last 24 hours, here are the rest of the latest key Whites headlines through our Tuesday morning round-up.
