Raphinha had already started the season strong with a pair of assists before he powered the big win over Valladolid with his first career treble. And that came after the club was reported to have been interested in securing a blockbuster transfer for Athletic Bilbao winger Nico Williams, another Spain standout.“I have been working hard since I came back from the summer holidays. I knew that this season would be very important,” the former Leeds player said.
