Aubameyang to Arsenal: Borussia Dortmund striker drops HUGE transfer hint on Twitter
ARSENAL target Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has dropped a massive hint that he is set to move to north London.
Arsenal had an initial £45million bid knocked back last week but they have since made a second approach with a fee in the region of £50.9m.
The figure is still well short of the £61.5m that Borussia Dortmund are holding out for, but Aubameyang seemed to suggest an agreement was close with a recent tweet.
The 28-year-old wrote a secret code to team-mate Dan-Axel Zagadou which ended in “xxxxxxL”.
And his eagle-eyed Twitter followers were quick to pick up that the world is highly likely to be Arsenal.

Arsenal have this week completed the signing of Henrikh Mkhitaryan from Manchester United, in a deal which saw Alexis Sanchez go in the opposite direction.
But manager Arsene Wenger is still keen to bolster his attacking ranks and confirmed that Aubameyang was a potential target.
