Along with Salah, Elneny played a key role in Egypt’s historic qualification for the World Cup.

Since his arrival at the Emirates in 2015, he has made 33 appearances for the Gunners contributing three assists.

The jury is still out with most Arsenal supporters about just how big a role Elneny can play for the Gunners but the 25-year-old is sure to feature as they try to go deep into the Europa League.

He’s played six matches in the tournament so far, scoring a goal in the 6-0 rout of BATE Borisov.
