An Arsenal transfer target has fuelled speculation ahead of the summer after he was spotted wearing the Gunners' kit.
The Premier League title race is far from decided, with Arsenal locked in a three-way battle with Liverpool and Manchester City.
Despite that though, behind the scenes all three clubs will be busy planning for next season and who to target in the summer transfer window.

Star players don't often issue public 'come and get me pleas' to potential suitors, but one talented attacker appears to have done just that.
Arsenal were linked with Dutch striker Noa Lang back in 2022, as Gunners boss Mikel Arteta looked to bring in a replacement for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
The Gabonese striker left the club by mutual consent in early 2022 after he was stripped of the club captaincy and fell out with Arteta over disciplinary issues.

That left Arteta needing an attacker, and he reportedly viewed Lang as an ideal replacement.
A move never materialised though, and in 2023 Lang left Belgian side Club Brugge to join PSV Eindhoven in a club record €15 million deal.
Arsenal have not really been linked with Lang since, and he has missed much of his first season back in the Netherlands due to hamstring issues.

However, this week Lang took to Instagram to share photos of him training by himself in Spain while wearing Arsenal's third kit.
On the failed move to Arsenal a couple of years ago, Lang said: "Because one of them only really left at the last minute [Aubameyang], they [Arsenal] wanted to hire someone quickly. But that was no longer possible."
Despite his injury struggles this term, Lang could be a shrewd signing for the Gunners if Arteta wants to add strength in depth to his squad.
Speaking to CalcioMercarto in 2021, Lang's agent Bart Baving explained the player's qualities.

"Noa is Noa, he has always had this type of playing style," he said.
"He always works hard and has excellent technique, dribbling and vision. He is also an excellent decision maker and a neat finisher. He is also a generous player, anything but selfish."
