Mohamed Elneny has seen limited playing time for Arsenal this season despite securing a contract extension before the campaign began. Despite his reduced on-field presence, the Egyptian midfielder is highly respected within the Arsenal dressing room, contributing to the club’s decision to keep him.
However, it appears that this could be Elneny’s final season at the Emirates, as transfer insider Fabrizio Romano reveals he is in demand. According to Romano, several clubs, predominantly in Turkey and Saudi Arabia, are interested in signing Elneny and adding him to their squads.
Given Elneny’s previous loan spell in Turkey and the potential financial incentives offered by Saudi teams, a move to either destination could be enticing for the player. This has fueled speculation that Elneny might opt for a transfer to one of these clubs in search of more playing time and possibly a financial windfall.
Just Arsenal Opinion
Elneny has been the definition of a fringe player for us in the last few seasons and we will not miss him if he leaves.
If we can offload him for a fee this month, we should take it, but selling him in the summer will be best because injuries can make him useful in the second half of the season.
It will be interesting to see which club accelerates their interest in his signature.

RT: Partey not included in Ghana’s AFCON squad.
Would Arteta admit his mistake in keeping them and finally sell?
Extended ElNeny but never plays. Remember Wolves wanted AMN but Arteta said he had plans for him, but he never gave him a run? 25 million lost in fees.
Or resigned Nketiah championship level when he should have let him walk. Now he should be sold to get any money, even if only 10-12 million.
Cedric still here don’t forget. Mistake to get him in first place, then Extended contract? Wow, that one is just shocking.
Has no plan for Ramsdale, but would he sell because we need funds? Probably more bull$hit about “competition” that never comes, or Arteta wants depth he never uses or rotates.
Excuses are quickly drying up, players like Elneny and Jorginho with no Arsenal future need to be sold, and flops like Nketiah and Vieira need to be moved on.
Durand, The more I read in general about those who dont tthink MA is up to it, the more I CAN SEE ALMOST ALL of the points various folk make.
I always thought and said, often, that his transfer dealings, both in and for NOT leaving. were his weakest point.
Cedric, Elneny Lokonga Tavares!! ALL ought NEVER to havew been anywhere within a million miles of a club of our stature. Huge mistakes all. and re-signing Elneny ranks alongsides AWs huge mistake in bringing him here originally.
I still think transfer market is his weakest point too, but his refusal to even consider changing a far too predictable and easy to combat shape, is rivalling that other weakness very closely.
I dont want to go any futher, as I see plenty of plusses too.
I was not at all in favour of keeping AW here after around 2008, far before any others startted calling for his exit.
I also saw a dramatic further lessening in AW s powers, esp after 2011, AND am seeing worry signs too from MA, somewhat to my surprise, as others have seen them far earlier than I DID , in MA’s case.
I am genuinely unsettled and unsure how I feel right now.
But of ONE thing I am convinced; we will DEFINITELY NOT win the title or CL this season. The FA CUP is our only real hope, now.
The weakness MA has is that he develops a tactic that is successful for perhaps half the season and we look strong. Teams then find an answer tactically and MA cannot find an answer – there is no alternative plan.
When City beat Arsenal to effectively win the Premiership last season he said he KNEW how we would play and simply played two No 6 in midfield to nullify us – Rodri and Gundogan.
That is MA’s major weakness – no plan B
