Arsenal plan third raid on Barcelona academy for Rafa Alcantara

Arsenal are watching Barcelona youngster Rafa Alcantara.

The winger is the kid brother of senior Barca midfielder Thiago Alcantara and is rated a better player by their father, Brazilian World Cup winner Mazinho.

Rafa, known as Rafinha in Spain, is waiting to open new contract talks with Barca, which has left the door open for Arsenal to pounce.

The Gunners have already raided Rafa's youth team this year for teammates Hector Bellerin and Jon Toral and now fancy adding the winger to their academy squad.
