Karim Benzema set off a social media firestorm this morning when he uploaded this picture to his Instagram account.

He is clearly on a plane on route to somewhere, and captioned the photo in French “Laissons le passé au passé.. #rip #directionturfu” which translates to “let’s leave the past behind.” The second hashtag translates to “towards the future.”

 As you can imagine, Arsenal fans have been in a frenzy on social media, with even Arsenal legend Ian Wright getting involved in the fun. A report from The Metro published some of twitter’s best reaction to the picture, with Arsenal fans clamouring with excitement as you can imagine.

He is the man so many of us want to lead the line and have wanted for quite some time.

Couple this with the news that the picture was uploaded while the rest of the Real Madrid squad were allegedly on a separate plane to Shanghai, and the speculation increases.

 I myself won’t get too carried away just yet (although I’m tempted) until he is wearing an Arsenal shirt on the official dot com, but it does indeed seem there is something afoot.
