Mohamed Elneny has revealed he would sign a new contract at Arsenal even with no guarantees of first-team football.
The Egypt midfielder's current deal expires at the end of the season and he looked all set for the Emirates Stadium exit door after six and a half years.
However, an unexpected recall has seen the 29-year-old shine in vital wins over Chelsea and Manchester United which have revitalised Arsenal's quest for a top-four Premier League finish.
His selection at Stamford Bridge was his first club appearance since December and he has made just six starts all season - including three in the Carabao Cup.
