Arsenal striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has left fans guessing with his reaction to a post on social media.
The Gabonese striker is an active user of Instagram and has boosted hopes that a deal for Inter winger Ivan Perisic may finally be close.
Head coach Unai Emery has been keen to see a winger arrive this month to reinforce his options in attack.
Negotiations to bring in Barcelona midfielder Denis Suarez have stalled over the demands of the Catalan club.
Paris Saint-Germain youngster Christopher Nkunku is another option for the Gunners.
Aubameyang was caught out liking a post from an Arsenal fan account that showed a picture of Perisic.
The caption read: “Ivan Perisic has asked to leave Inter Milan.”
Speaking about interest in the player, the Serie A club’s director Giuseppe Marotta said: “Perisic has asked to leave.”
“The Italian denied that a bid had been received.
“There is no offer for him. We will see in the coming days.
“We will listen to the request of Perisic, he has put in a transfer request.
“We must try to satisfy him but also respect the value of him.”
