Egyptian midfielder completes switch to Emirates
Arsenal Football Club have announced the signing of Mohamed Elneny from FC Basel.
The Egyptian midfielder has been linked with a move to the Emirates Stadium for the past few weeks, but due to paperwork issues, the proposed transfer was delayed.
Elneny passed his medical at the club in Paris and was hopeful of completing the move ahead of the FA Cup tie with Sunderland, but due to issues, the club had to delay the deal.
However, they have now officially announced the midfielder and he should be registered in time to face Stoke City on Sunday.
The 23-year-old will provide depth for Arsenal whilst Santi Cazorla, Jack Wilshere and Francis Coquelin remained sidelined.
