Arsenal have taken the first step in securing their out of contract trio, with Mohamed Elneny signing a new deal at The Emirates.
Elneny; along with strikers Eddie Nketiah and Alexandre Lacazette were all set to become free agents at the end of the recently concluded campaign. But while the futures of the two forwards remain up in the air, the Egyptian international has now secured his future.
Signed by Arsene Wenger in January 2016, Elneny was already one of the longest serving members in a youthful Gunners squad and his stint in North London will now go on. Having spent much of the season as a fringe member of Mikel Arteta’s squad, the combative midfielder came to the fore in the closing weeks of the campaign, following an injury to Thomas Partey.
