Leeds United boss Marcelo Bielsa admits he wants more from Raphinha.
Raphinha has quickly established himself as one of the Premier League's most potent forwards and Bielsa hopes the 24-year-old can help lift his team-mates to a similar level.
Bielsa said: “If you asked me how do I imagine his evolution, I would say to maintain regularly performances like the ones he is achieving would be a great indicator.
“The other great challenge that the players who shine have is to transfer that evolution to his team-mates and to the team.
“He is sufficiently good right now. Raphinha will be a lot better if the team is better and if his team-mates are better."
The Brazilian has also had a stunning impact on his national side, scoring two goals on his full debut in a 4-1 World Cup qualifying win against Uruguay in October.
That display prompted Brazil head coach Tite to publicly thank Bielsa for his part in helping to develop the player.
Bielsa added: "This, what I say, is not a conclusion that is elaborated by myself, but it is a conclusion that comes from the players who shine.
"They start by unbalancing (opposing sides) by themselves, they manage to facilitate how their team-mates perform and that development of the collective game improves the team that they belong to, that contains them, and that process is a great challenge."
