A lot of buzz has been surrounding Leicester City’s Riyad Mahrez, the Algerian international winger who won the PFA Player of the Year Award in the Premier League last season, and a potential transfer option for Arsenal. Many Arsenal fans have been rejoicing over the possibility, with an earned skepticism regarding the legitimacy of reports.
That hasn’t stopped some fans from some wild and joyful speculation:
Twitter: Mahrez to Arsenal is done ..He will wear the number 26 number … This is how confident I am ????? #Arsenal #Mahrez https://t.co/btCwLahew3 (@AsadBalal)
Of course, this same guy later tweeted this:
Twitter: Can safely say I won’t be going to any Arsenal matches this year if we don’t sign any top players … Gonna give away 2 season tickets !!! (@AsadBalal)
