Arsene Wenger has identified Riyad Mahrez as one of his summer targets, but one fan seemingly reckons the deal is a lot further down the line.

Granit Xhaka, Takuma Asano and Rob Holding have already arrived at Emirates Stadium this summer, but Wenger has so far been frustrated as the Gunners look to negotiate in the current market.

Attempts to land Jamie Vardy and Gonzalo Higuain have not borne fruit, though the the latter could yet make the switch to Emirates Stadium as Wenger continues to monitor ithe Argentine's situation at Napoli.

But reports that Mahrez is unwilling to commit to a new deal at the King Power Stadium has sent some Arsenal fans into a frenzy, prompting one to purchase the new shirt with Mahrez's name printed on the back.

Arsenal sign Granit Xhaka

The Gunner has plumped for the Algerian's squad number at Leicester, 26, and tweeted a picture of his new jersey with accompanying message: "Mahrez to Arsenal is done ..He will wear the number 26 number ... This is how confident I am."
