Orta adamant Raphinha will prove great Leeds signing

Leeds United football chief Victor Orta is adamant Raphinha will prove a top quality signing.

The Brazilian arrived at Elland Road on deadline day from French side Rennes and has already made a strong first impression.

“We've been following him since he arrived in Portugal," Orta told Record.

“He went from the lower divisions of Brazil to Guimaraes, arrived at Sporting and returned to succeeding, just like at Rennes.

“This sustained growth made us insist on the signing. He incorporates talent and a great physical level, making him a complete player."
