Leeds United attacker Raphinha’s agent Deco spotted in stands during Arsenal loss
Deco, the agent of Raphinha, was spotted in the stands as Leeds United suffered an embarrassing 4-1 defeat against Arsenal on Saturday.
The Whites’ horrid week to a turn for the worse after they fell flat on their faces in front of their fans at Elland Road.
To make things worse, the Brazilian’s agent was in attendance, amid the player’s links with Liverpool.
That’s according to LeedsLive’s Joe Donnohue who relayed this via his Twitter account.
Exit bound?
It’s a rare thing to see agents spotted watching their clients in the stands unless there’s a major development bound to happen.
The timing of him being featured is quite convenient, given Leeds’ bad run of form and the fact that the window is opening next month.
Raphinha is clearly one of Leeds’ best players and will look for a step up if the club don’t reach that next level.
Given how things are, the Whites are in freefall and there are fears that they may have regressed from last season.
Instead of pushing for European football, they now find themselves fighting against relegation.
With losses like the 7-0 at City and 4-1 against Arsenal, they’re doing little to allay any fears of facing the drop.
One cannot fault Raphinha for wanting to leave, if he does decide to, but it remains to be seen whether or not he actually pushes for an exit next month.
