Arsenal midfielder Mohamed Elneny (31) will leave the club at the conclusion of the current season, bringing an end to an eight-year tenure at the Emirates Stadium. The Egyptian international, who has made 161 appearances and secured three trophies with the Gunners, will become a free agent this summer.
Elneny, known for his work ethic and versatility in midfield, joined Arsenal in January 2016 from Swiss side FC Basel. Over the years, he has been a reliable squad member, contributing significantly in both domestic and European competitions. His time with Arsenal has seen him lift the FA Cup and two Community Shields, adding to his list of accolades.
In an official statement, Elneny expressed his gratitude to the club and its supporters: "Playing for Arsenal has been an incredible journey and I am thankful for all the support from the fans and everyone associated with the club. It's time for a new chapter in my career."
Elneny's departure marks a significant shift for Arsenal as they continue to reshape their squad under the guidance of manager Mikel Arteta. The club is expected to be active in the transfer market this summer, seeking to bolster their midfield options.
As a free agent, Elneny will have the freedom to explore new opportunities and continue his professional career elsewhere. Speculation about his next destination is already rife, with several clubs reportedly showing interest in the experienced midfielder.
Arsenal fans will have a final chance to see Elneny in action for the Gunners as the season draws to a close. His contributions over the past eight years have left a lasting legacy at the club, and he will be fondly remembered by the Arsenal faithful.
