Arsenal get ready to extend Elneny's contract

Elneny's future has become clearer. Arsenal have made the decision to keep him for another season after months of uncertainty surrounding the player's situation at the club.

According to 'The Athletic', the Gunners have begun conversations with the player and they hope that they can soon reach an agreement with him regarding the terms of his renewal.

The club do not want to let him leave as a free agent this summer, as his current deal  is due to expire at the end of the season. However, it should be taken into consideration that only a few months ago, the North London club were ready to sell their player.

After Thomas Partey's injury, the Egyptian international proved himself as a worthy centremidfield substitute and gained relevance in Mikel Arteta's plans. This has pushed the club into wanting to keep him for next season, a campaign in which they are very likely to be playing Champions League football.
