Arsenal target Bruno Guimaraes sent fans into a transfer frenzy on Thursday night following a post on his Twitter account.
The Gunners endured a difficult evening, losing 2-0 to Liverpool in the second leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final as Jurgen Klopp's side booked a place in next month's final against Chelsea.
The loss highlighted how light the north Londoners are in midfield, with Mohamed Elneny currently at the Africa Cup of Nations and Granit Xhaka suspended, leaving Albert Sambi Lokonga on his own in the centre of the park before Thomas Partey's disastrous cameo in the latter stages of the loss.
