Arsenal fans think Kylian Mbappe has dropped transfer clue on William Saliba's Instagram

Arsenal fans are convinced PSG superstar Kylian Mbappe has dropped a transfer clue on William Saliba's Instagram account.

Mbappe's current contract with PSG is due to expire in the summer.

The Ligue 1 club are currently in negotiations with the France international over a new long-term deal.

And while recent reports claim the forward would be happy to remain at the Parc des Princes, he is yet to put pen to paper – fuelling speculation over his future.

Real Madrid are long-term admirers of Mbappe, having previously failed to sign the 25-year-old on two separate occasions, while Liverpool have also been linked with the Frenchman.

If they are unable to agree a new deal with Mbappe, PSG could consider selling him in January – potentially their last opportunity to secure a fee for the striker.

Mbappe, meanwhile, is free to negotiate a pre-contract agreement with a foreign club from January 1.

Liverpool are not the only Premier League club that has been linked with Mbappe, with London giants Chelsea and Arsenal also said to be interested.

And Gunners supporters believe the Frenchman may have just dropped a hint over a potential move to the Emirates.

Eagle-eyed fans spotted that Mbappe has liked a post made by Saliba on Instagram following Arsenal's 1-1 draw with Liverpool at Anfield.

Posting a picture of himself competing for the ball with Mohamed Salah, Saliba wrote: "Tough game but a strong performance."

While some Arsenal supporters believe it is a sign Mbappe prefers Arsenal over Liverpool, it is more likely the forward was merely showing his support for his France international teammate.

Paris-born Saliba, meanwhile, has himself been linked with a move to PSG and there is the possibility that Mbappe is trying to form a stronger relationship with the defender ahead of a potential return to French football.

PSG are currently enjoying a break around the festive period but will return to action against Toulouse for the Trophee des Champions on January 3.

Premier League leaders Arsenal, on the other hand, are in the middle of a busy period and next face London rivals West Ham on Thursday.
