Happy New Year, Gooners! The transfer window is open, and I have an important transfer update on Mohammed Elneny. Elneny may have already played his final Premier League game for Arsenal. After competing in the Africa Cup of Nations, the Arsenal midfielder could be heading to the Turkish league. He already played in the SuperLiga, featuring in it for Besiktas in the 2019–20 season.
After struggling for opportunities and having a difficult time making an impression on this Arsenal team, the 31-year-old could have found a way out of the Emirates.
Trabzonspor, according to Fabrizio Romano, are interested in Elneny. However, he confesses that they are not the only clubs interested; Besiktas, Galatasaray, and clubs in Saudi Arabia are also interested.

Elneny has been at Arsenal since 2016, making him the club’s longest-serving player.
He has made 159 appearances for the club, won the FA Cup, and scored six goals since joining.
He has only made four appearances this season.
Given that his contract expires in the summer, it would be fantastic if Arsenal could sell him during the winter transfer window.
Funds from his sale could be useful for Arsenal, who need to bolster their squad if they are to win again in 2024 (after failing to win in their last three games in 2024). There’s talk that a top central midfielder will be signed; probably this signing will be the Egyptian’s replacement.

Get him off the books. He doesn’t play for us ever. He is a average player.
Like him but we need to be rid of him and jorginho and bring in another decent midfielder at some point. But top striker is the ask atm
I suppose it’s best to sell Elneny while he still has some value, but he’s never really let us down, and always performs well enough when he comes on, and in his rare starts. I’d rather him than Jorginho any day of the week.
49k/week for backup players. I propose releasing him during the January transfer window and for his replacement, considering a promotion from the young academy
They are comfortable with the stupid wages we have given these players.
Cedric is another.
Nelson, Eddie and ESR should have been moved on also.
None are going to make 1st team players.
And 2 just like being injured 😁
If we want to challenge the big teams those players have to go.
My answer to the headline question is”OH GOD, YES PLEEEEAZE!” Tomorrow hopefully!!
Seven wasted years at our club for this likeable but totally useless player.
NO other top level lclub would possibly have ever brought such a rubbish player in the first place and having bought him , IN NO WAY, would any of those clubs have offered him an extended contact. IT BEGGARS BELIEF, IMO.
He never plays – why would we need to replace someone who doesn’t play? We need someone who can contribute something tangible to the team.
We currently have ONE fit central midfielder in the squad who’s of real quality, another who’s frequently injured, and one who’s thoroughly inconsistent (jorginho) – the rest are fill ins who simply can’t be relied on.
Can you imagine how bad we’d be if rice got injured? Not a nice thought.
