Arsenal fans in meltdown as Thomas Lemar drops huge hint over potential Gunners move

THOMAS LEMAR has dropped a huge hint he could be moving to Arsenal - by liking a social media post.

And it's fair to say it has got Gunners fans rather excited.

A fan posted a photo of the Frenchman on Instagram, captioning it "welcome to Arsenal".

And it appears as though the man himself is in agreement with the post after account user "thom_lemar27" "liked" it.

One Gunners fan wrote on Twitter: "Wow this is awesome news, Thomas Lemar liked this comment on his Instagram."

Another asked the London club to "announce Lemar", while Ollie wrote: "Thomas Lemar just liked a comment on his Instagram post sayin, ‘welcome to Arsenal’ after numerous comments saying ‘come to Chelsea’.

"Make of that what you will."

SunSport reported earlier this week how Chelsea have joined Liverpool and Arsenal in the race to sign the £86million-rated forward in January.

L'Equipe say the Blues are set to turn to the forward in a bid to bolster their threadbare attacking options.

Both the Reds and Gunners launched bids in the region of £80m-90m for the 22-year-old in the summer, but were unsuccessful.
