Arsenal chiefs reportedly spent Tuesday desperately trying to convince Leeds to sell Raphinha to them instead of Chelsea. Raphinha has been at the centre of a three-way tug-of-war in recent weeks, with Arsenal, Chelsea and Barcelona all keen to sign the Brazil international.

Rangers are set to make a boat-load of cash if they manage to beat Eintracht Frankfurt in Europa League final tonight.Giovanni van Bronckhorst's side are on the verge of history and could seal the club's first ever European trophy with victory at the Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan stadium in Seville.Should that happen, the club stand to receive up to £40million in total prize money - which will make for one heck of a title-winning bash should they get the job done - having already bagged £19million courtesy of memorable victories over Borussia Dortmund, Red Star Belgrade, Braga and RB Leipzig, reports MirrorFootball.To break things down, the Scottish club will earn £3.4million if they're crowned champions tonight - but that win alone will start a very lucrative domino-effect.Rangers would then also earn £3million for competing in next season's UEFA Super Cup against either Liverpool or Real Madrid, with the winners of that match receiving a bonus payment of £840,000. Victory this evening would also see them qualify for next season's Champions League - which will earn the club a whopping £13.1 million.Such mega prize money would be treasured at Ibrox, especially given that they've only spent a measly £2.6 million on players this season.Can Rangers get the job done tonight? Let us know what you think in the comments section.It's estimated that around 100,000 'Gers fans have made the trip to Seville, though only 9,500 of them will have tickets to the match itself, and a number of club legends - including Ally McCoist and Graeme Souness - have urged supporters to behave themselves."This is a message to all the boys and girls travelling over to Seville to cheer on our team," McCoist said.

(check out his full selection below)."Well it would start with the goalkeeper, obviously, and that would be a toss-up between Ray Clemence and maybe the goalkeeper now, Alisson Becker.
