Mohamed Elneny appears to be on the brink of signing a new Arsenal contract after a member of the Egyptian national teams technical squad tweeted and quickly deleted a congratulations message to the midfielder. Elneny has become a fixture for Arsenal in recent weeks and a standout player in a number of big victories.
The 29-year-old has only played in 11 Premier League matches this season but Mikel Arteta has started him in each of the Gunners last four matches, all four of which have ended in victory. Wins against Chelsea, Manchester United, West Ham and Leeds have put Arsenal in the drivers' seat to secure that fourth spot in next season's Champions League.
It is a run of form that has sparked talk that Elneny could be offered a new contract at the Emirates with his current deal set to expire at the end of the season. It was a question put to Arteta in the aftermath of the win against United with the Spaniard hinting that talks were in the offing.
