The talasmic Brazilian, who has netted 17 goals across 67 matches in all competitions, has been heavily linked with a move this summer. London rivals Arsenal and Chelsea were seemingly battling for his signature before Barcelona entered the picture. Raphinha is reportedly keen to join Xavi and company at the Camp Nou.<\/p>\n<p>In the season just gone Sinisterra enjoyed his most prolific campaign for Feyenoord whom he joined from boyhood club Once Caldas in the summer of 2018, scoring 23 goals and creating 14 more across 49 matches in all competitions, his international teammate Davinson Sanchez feels it&#8217;s the perfect move and the Tottenham central defender is backing him to have a similar impact compatriot Luis Diaz is enjoying with Liverpool.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1268282\" src=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2022\/07\/07140131\/1268277_1268277_diaz-v-luis-s.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2160\" height=\"2160\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2022\/07\/07140131\/1268277_1268277_diaz-v-luis-s.jpg 2160w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2022\/07\/07140131\/1268277_1268277_diaz-v-luis-s-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2022\/07\/07140131\/1268277_1268277_diaz-v-luis-s-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2022\/07\/07140131\/1268277_1268277_diaz-v-luis-s-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2022\/07\/07140131\/1268277_1268277_diaz-v-luis-s-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2022\/07\/07140131\/1268277_1268277_diaz-v-luis-s-110x110.jpg 110w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2022\/07\/07140131\/1268277_1268277_diaz-v-luis-s-70x70.jpg 70w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2022\/07\/07140131\/1268277_1268277_diaz-v-luis-s-50x50.jpg 50w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2022\/07\/07140131\/1268277_1268277_diaz-v-luis-s-66x65.jpg 66w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2022\/07\/07140131\/1268277_1268277_diaz-v-luis-s-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2022\/07\/07140131\/1268277_1268277_diaz-v-luis-s-80x80.jpg 80w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2022\/07\/07140131\/1268277_1268277_diaz-v-luis-s-180x180.jpg 180w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2022\/07\/07140131\/1268277_1268277_diaz-v-luis-s-240x240.jpg 240w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2022\/07\/07140131\/1268277_1268277_diaz-v-luis-s-600x600.jpg 600w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2022\/07\/07140131\/1268277_1268277_diaz-v-luis-s-999x999.jpg 999w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2022\/07\/07140131\/1268277_1268277_diaz-v-luis-s-85x85.jpg 85w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2022\/07\/07140131\/1268277_1268277_diaz-v-luis-s-20x20.jpg 20w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2022\/07\/07140131\/1268277_1268277_diaz-v-luis-s-330x330.jpg 330w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2160px) 100vw, 2160px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Lucho (Sinisterra) has been doing very well.

His pivotal role in the Rotterdammers reaching the inaugural UEFA Conference League final earned him the competition&#8217;s Young Player of the Season award. The sum Feyenoord received for his signature is a club record fee.<\/p>\n<p>Feyenoord head coach Arne Slot earlier in the week admitted his club needed to make at least seven new signings following the departures of Tyrell Malacia (Manchester United) and Bryan Linssen (Urawa Reds) as well as Guus Til, Reiss Nelson and Cyriel Dessers all returning to their parent clubs after spending the season at De Kuip on loan. Til has since joined Eredivisie championship rivals PSV Eindhoven.<\/p>\n<p>Sinisterra will officially become a Leeds player once he receives international clearance and his work permit.
