Arsenal has finally made a signing this transfer season. Twenty-three-year-old Mohamed Elneny, an Egypt international, who until now was playing for Basel has now become Arsene Wenger’s first outfield signing since January 2015.

Elneny who missed training on Monday when he was holding talks with Arsenal has now joined the Premier league leaders in a deal reportedly worth £5 million.

A statement from the club read, “The transfer is subject to the completion of regulatory
processes. Everyone at Arsenal would like to welcome Mohamed to the club.”

Wenger had been scouring the market for a new defensive midfielder for some time especially with injuries to Francis Coquelin, Santi Cazorla and Mikel Arteta.
