The Egyptian midfielder‘s new deal at the Emirates Stadium will last until June 2024.

He is sidelined with an injury, but was overjoyed with his contract.

He said: “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.”

Elneny, signed by Arsene Wenger from Basel in a £5million deal in January 2016, is now the longest-serving player at the club and one of the most popular in the dressing-room.

Elneny becomes the third first team player to sign a new contract this season, following Gabriel Martinelli and Gabriel Magalhaes.

Fans are now desperate to see star players Saka and Saliba commit their futures to Arsenal.

One tweeted: “Five crucial players and now three (3) is already done and dusted. Left with the final two (2) please. 1. Gabriel. M. 2. Gabriel Martinelli. 3. Mo Elneny. 4. Bukayo Saka. 5. William Saliba. 3 already done. Now, last 2 to go .”

A fourth said: “Forget this guy where the Saka and Saliba extensions.”

A fifth added: “Mo next Saka and Saliba.”

Both of their current deals expire at the end of next season and the club will be keen to keep hold of their stand out players from this season.
