However,Raphinha’s goals aren’t the lone reason that has drawn attention at Elland Road this season,as the wingerhas been one of the team’s most inventive players, despite only having one assist to his record.This comes as no surprise; any European top team would have been keeping a close eye on the Leeds talisman throughout 2021.
