Arsenal fans have gone into meltdown at the prospect of signing Thomas Lemar after the Frenchman appeared to drop a transfer hint on social media.

The Gunners were linked with a move for the Monaco midfielder over the summer, but just missed out on completing the signing.

Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil are both expected to leave north London when their contracts expire at the end of the season.

And Arsene Wenger will be expected to step up and land the France international to help the Gunners rebuild their midfield.
