Lionel Messi's Instagram Post Fuels Ridiculous Speculation That He's Coming To The Premier League

Social media is a wonderful tool, but sometimes things can get out of hand. Just look at former Arsenal goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny who's Instagram was updated with several x-rated snaps yesterday.

Lionel Messi was involved in another perfect example of social media overreacting when the Barcelona forward posted a video of his kid learning English,

Does it really mean he is on his way to the Premier League? Really?

Many have jumped to that conclusion after the 29-year-old uploaded a clip of his son watching a television program with English subtitles.

Obviously people decided he was going to the Premier League...what more do you expect?

Messi has been linked with a move to the Premier League in every single transfer window, but we can't imagine it happening anytime soon.

The five-time Ballon d'Or winner has 16-months remaining on his current contract but Barcelona are eager to tie down the Argentine star to a new and longer deal.
