‘Talking with my new teammate. Welcome in the club’- Alexandre Lacazette sends Arsenal fans into a frenzy on Twitter

Arsenal striker Alexandre Lacazette inadvertently got supporters very excited about the possibility of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang signing, after posting a tweet about his former Borussia Dortmund teammate Henrikh Mkhitaryan, who recently joined from Manchester United.

The innocent tweet garnered quite a response from supporters, some of whom photoshopped the picture to include Aubameyang, while others were hoping Lacazette was welcoming the Gabon international rather than Mkhitaryan.
