Arsenal midfielder Mohamed Elneny insists the club is "in his blood" after his revival under manager Mikel Arteta.
The Egypt international, 29, looked certain to leave the Emirates three months ago. Heading into the final five weeks of last season, he had just seven Premier League outings to his name - the last of which coming in January - and two months remaining on his contract.
Yet Elneny started all seven of Arsenal's last seven league games to remind Arteta of his ability and earn a new contract, signing a one-year deal with the option of a further 12 months. He continued his good form on Friday, scoring a stunner in a pre-season friendly against Nurnberg. The Gunners won 5-3 with new signing Gabriel Jesus scoring twice.
