Arriving at Arsenal in 2016, Mohamed Elneny is still with the Gunners. Even if he is not a starter and a substitute often used, the Egyptian midfielder is important in the Gunners squad because the 31-year-old is very popular in the locker room. This is one of the reasons why the former FC Basel player is still a player at the London club who decided to extend him for a season last summer. Linked until 2024 with the current second in the Premier League, the native of Mahallah returned to his extension in an interview with the Evening Standard.
Very touched, he returned to this very moving day for him: “It was one of the happiest days of my life. The way they spoke to me, the way the whole club was happy with this decision, they made me cry that day. Arsenal football club, they know I love them so much 100%. They know I don’t want to leave. I want to stay there and finish my career there, 100 percent. I was injured and my contract was coming to an end and I couldn’t play any more last season, and they came straight after my injury, the next day and said, ‘Mo, what kind of contract will this have to be? -He is ?’ We love you here and we want you to stay. Really, this club is great.»
