Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang sparked a flurry of speculation about his future on Sunday when Arsenal s FA Cup final hero posted a teasing tweet.
The Gabon striker has entered the final year of his contract with the Gunners, who have been keen for him to commit for a longer duration.
He posted an image of an egg-timer on Twitter, possibly suggesting there could be imminent news to announce.
There was speculation it may mean that Aubameyang, who joined Arsenal from Borussia Dortmund in 2018, has signed a new contract.
The 31-year-old scored 22 goals in the Premier League for Arsenal last season, just as he did in the previous campaign.
He struck both of the goals for Mikel Arteta s team in their 2-1 victory over Chelsea in the FA Cup final on August 1.
There has been a clamour among supporters of the north London club for them to get a deal agreed, and many followers on social media begged Aubameyang to reveal what his cryptic message meant.
One, going by the Twitter handle @bhavss14, replied: Bro, don’t play with our hearts like this.
