It doesn't take much for an Arsenal transfer theory to catch fire as not much gets past supporters when it comes to potential new signings.
And following Friday afternoon's 5-3 pre-season friendly win over FC Nurnberg, there is a section of the Gunners fanbase that is getting rather excited about the idea of Leicester City midfielder Youri Tielemans possibly becoming the club's fifth arrival so far this summer.
The reason for this is mainly down to what could have been an accidental slip of the tongue or just a complete coincidence from the Arsenal commentary team whilst providing coverage of the game in Germany as many listeners took note of rumoured transfer targets such as Tielemans, Paulo Dybala and Lisandro Martinez being mentioned.

But it was a rather surprising four-word claim regarding the Belgium international that has triggered a stunning transfer theory amongst some fans on social media as many picked up on the commentator stating: "With Tielemans coming in" at one point during the second half.
This was picked up by @whizz98, @YouthPreview and @schneidermike on Twitter, whilst @TWickenden26 questioned if the Arsenal commentary just spoiled who the club's next signing will be: "'With Tielemans coming in' … has @Arsenal commentary team just announced the signing??' the post read.
Now, football.london understands that Arsenal do hold an interest in Tielemans having held meetings with his representatives at London Colney. However, there is little sign that a deal is close as things have cooled off recently with the club now being linked with alternatives.
In the past week alone, Ismael Bennacer - a former Gunners player currently at AC Milan - Lyon's Lucas Paqueta and Lens' Seko Fofana are just some of the midfielders to have been strongly linked with a move to the Emirates Stadium before the summer transfer window closes.
With that said, whilst revealing that Arsenal are still in the market to bolster their squad after completing deals for Marquinhos, Fabio Vieira, Matt Turner and Gabriel Jesus, manager Mikel Arteta has refused to comment on any specific targets by name: "We never talk about players that are not ours," he said after the win over Nurnberg.
"We can still improve the team in the market and we’re going to try to do it, but I won’t go into any specific names. There are more things that we would like to do if we can. But obviously, the market will dictate what we can do. So far we are happy with what we’ve done."
