Arsenal’s Mohamed Elneny appears to be on the verge of leaving North London amid increased interest from other clubs in securing the midfielder’s services.Reports suggest that Turkish clubs Trabzonspor and Besiktas have made offers for the Egyptian player, prompting Arsenal to consider potential deals for players on the fringes of their squad.🚨 Mohamed Elneny is on the verge of a potential Arsenal exit, with the player subject of offers from Turkish sides Trabzonspor & Besiktas. [Simon Jones, Mail] #afc pic.twitter.com/f6aE96xVUK— afcstuff (@afcstuff) January 2, 2024 The 31-year-old midfielder has struggled to secure regular playing time under manager Mikel Arteta this season, making just a solitary appearance in the Premier League for the Gunners. Since his arrival from Swiss club Basel in 2015, Elneny has amassed 159 appearances for the Gunners and scored six goals.Previously, Elneny had a loan spell with Besiktas during the 2019/20 season, where he made 36 appearances for the Turkish club. Despite pledging his commitment to Arsenal last February by signing a one-year contract extension, the midfielder has found it virtually impossible to secure a significant role within the team under Arteta’s management.##NAJAVA_MECA_7775514##During the contract extension announcement, Elneny expressed his deep affection for the club and its supporters, but he didn’t get to show his love on the pitch.”I’m so happy. I love this club and our supporters so much, and I’ll give everything to help us be the best we can be every day I’m here. It makes me so proud to have represented this amazing club since 2016. The spirit and togetherness we have in our squad right now is so positive and I’m so happy I have extended my contract.”With limited opportunities in the first team, Elneny’s future at Arsenal seems uncertain as he attracts interest from clubs abroad, potentially paving the way for a departure from the North London club by the end of the month.
