Alexandre Lacazette left Arsenal fans confused with a rather cryptic Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang tweet on Sunday night.
The France international took to Twitter to write nothing but the handle of his Arsenal team-mate alongside two heart emojis – one coloured red and the other blue.
Immediately, Gunners supporters began responding to the tweet, with one asking: “What are you saying, Laca?” and another saying: “What the hell does this mean?”
A third even suggested some good news may be on the way – like Aubameyang signing a new contract to remain in north London.
“I’m getting excited all of a sudden,” tweeted the fan. “Do you know something we don’t?”

Unfortunately for optimistic Gunners fans, Aubameyang is still yet to agree fresh terms with Arsenal, and the tweet was apparently referencing something completely different.
This Sunday, bitter Ligue 1 rivals Lyon and Saint-Etienne went head to head – and the home side ran out 2-0 winners thanks to a Moussa Dembele double.
Back in the day Lacazette used to play for Lyon – in fact he was the club Arsenal signed him from. Aubameyang, meanwhile, played for Saint-Etienne.
It therefore seems that the tweet was nothing more than some good old fashioned trolling.
