Adidas have caused a real stir on Twitter today that has loads of Arsenal fans convinced their club could be clinching the transfer of Hakim Ziyech this summer.
The Ajax attacking midfielder was a world class performer for the Eredivisie giants last season, helping them win the title in Holland and reach the semi-finals of the Champions League.

And now, Adidas have posted a picture of their new Arsenal strip with Ziyech’s name on the back…

However, there appears to be a perfectly reasonable explanation as it’s in response to someone with Ziyech in their Twitter username.
Many Gooners, though, still think it could be a deliberate clue about a move for the Morocco international…
