Elneny will remain at Arsenal. The club announced the renewal of his contract until June 2023 and, in doing so, put an end to all the rumours that he was far from London. The Egyptian player spoke to the club's official media and was very happy with the resolution of his future.
"I feel like when you play for one of the biggest teams in the world and you have an amazing family and fans that are also really amazing, they make me feel special," the player explained.
Elneny revealed that he had a positive conversation with Mikel Arteta at the end of the season, which helped him open his mind and extend his stay at the Emirates. "Mikel, I really appreciate what you have done for me," he confessed.
For his part, the coach said that "he is an important part of the team" and that the player brings "energy and enthusiasm to the team". "He is an important player for us on and off the pitch, a real role model for our younger players and I am delighted that he is staying," said the Spanish coach.
