Arsenal fans were completely clueless on social media following a rumour coming out of nowhere that Toulouse striker Wissam Ben Yedder could be the Gunners’ next summer signing.

Latest reports in France claim Ben Yedder, who has been on the transfer market for much of the summer, could now sign for either Arsenal or Sevilla in the coming hours.

The north Londoners have been linked with high-profile forwards Jamie Vardy, Gonzalo Higuain, Mauro Icardi, Alexandre Lacazette and Alvaro Morata during the transfer window so the latest rumour linked with a relatively unknown player appears to have spawned from nowhere.

Many Gooners asking the same questions on Twitter – firstly, who on earth is this guy? Secondly, what the hell happened to chasing big names like Mahrez, Higuain and Morata?

Fans are crying out for Arsene Wenger to bring attacking reinforcements to the Emirates, but is Ben Yedder really the answer to Arsenal’s problems going forward?

Here is how Arsenal fans reacted on social media when they heard the rumour.
