AS Monaco attacker Thomas Lemar has dropped a big hint of a move to Arsenal next month.
The London Evening Standard says Lemar's social media activity has prompted plenty of excitement as January rolls into view.
One Arsenal fan tweeted: "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."
Monaco are expected to demand at least £80million for his services and Chelsea are in a strong negotiating position in the race for his signature as former technical director Michael Emenalo has taken up the same role with the Lige 1 champions.
Asked about the possibility of going back in for Lemar in January, Arsene Wenger said last month: "Do we go for the transfer market in January? I don't know yet."
