HENRIKH MKHITARYAN appeared to leak Pierre-Emerick Aubamayang’s transfer to Arsenal.
The club released a video of their new signing in his first day in north London after a blockbuster swap deal with Alexis Sanchez.
A small segment of the video sees Mkhitaryan mouth something that is almost inaudible.
But Gunners fans have watched the short clip over and over and reckon the former Manchester United man has actually leaked Aubameyang’s arrival.
Mkhitaryan appeared to say: “Yo Pierre, you wanna come out here?”
Arsenal then deleted the video – sending Arsenal conspiracy theorists bonkers.
Thousands of Gooners on social media appeared to spot the moment.
One wrote: “I’m 100 per cent sure Mkhitaryan said ‘Yo Pierre, you want to come out here?'”
The deal for Aubameyang is believed to be very close.
Earlier, one bookmaker suspended betting on the Borussia Dortmund striker moving to north London.
Dortmund manager Peter Stoger also said he could be a player within 24 hours.
He said: “We would like the solution to be there tomorrow, whatever it looks like.
“I probably would speak from the souls of many people, causes everything that has been clarified and brings clarity, is good for everyone in their life and would also be good for us as a team.”
Mkhitaryan said he was “overjoyed” to be joining his “boyhood club”.
Speaking to the club website, the Armenian said he had “always dreamed” of playing for the club.
“I’m very happy that we could finish this deal and I’m very happy to be here,” he said.
“It’s a dream come true because I’ve always dreamed of playing for Arsenal.
“Now that I’m here, I’ll do my best for this club to create history.
“I always loved the way that Arsenal played and the way that Arsene Wenger has managed the team.
