Raphinha arrived at Leeds United for an undisclosed fee, believed to be in the region of £17 million.
And what a bargain he has turned out to be.
The winger almost instantly became one of the most reliably excellent performers of Marcelo Bielsa's side and has turned heads far and wide.
As one of the Premier League's rising stars, Leeds fans have no delusions about the chances of Raphinha stopping long at Elland Road, but that won't stop them cherishing him while he's around.
One year on from his signing, we take a look at some of his best moments so far.
7. Raphinha takes the no. 10 shirt
Little flashes of something that looked like a number 10 were visible on Raphinha’s shorts in a training video in the run up to the 2021/2022 season. Eagle-eyed fans confirmed the swap as Raphinha’s new squad number, vacated by the departed Gjanni Alioski, became available to order on the new home kit. Now a fan favourite, the winger has in every sense lived up to the prestige associated with the coveted number 10 shirt. Photo: Jan Kruger
8. First (and second) Brazil call-up
Raphinha’s performances at Elland Road earned him his first international call-up in September 2021 as he was invited to play for Brazil in World Cup qualifiers against Chile, Argentina and Peru. Unfortunately the winger was barred from participating as the Premier League unanimously prevented internationals due to play in red-listed countries from departing for duty. Fortunately head coach Tite included Raphinha in his squad for the October fixtures so he could make his debut in the coming weeks. Photo: Laurence Griffiths
