Mohamed Elneny has posted on Instagram that the Arsenal players and his family are the reasons why he wants to ‘get better’.
The 29-year-old’s contract in north London is due to expire at the end of June and he was a player tipped to head for the exit door in the summer.
But, now it seems that he will stay put, as the London Evening Standard reports that Elneny will be handed a one-year contract by Arsenal.
Judging by the midfielder’s Instagram post, it’s probably true.
He posted a series of images of himself celebrating with the Arsenal players, added with a picture with his wife and kids.
The Egypt star posted ‘Those people in these pics are the reason why I want to get better every single day. My beloved family, my supportive teammates and the incredible Arsenal fans.’
ELNENY STAYING WOULD RECEIVE MIXED RESPONSE
From the games that Elneny played, and there were only eight, seven of which came during the final few weeks, he gave a strong account of himself.
But, is he a player that will help elevate them to the Champions League next season? Push for a starting spot or dethrone those who do start?
Arsenal clearly need more added quality and depth in the midfield defensive department – Mikel Arteta is pushing for Leicester City’s, Youri Tielemans.
So, if Elneny is happy to play a bit-part role, and more proven midfielders are signed, then there is no reason why Arsenal shouldn’t keep him on board.
