Arsenal Keen to Offload Mohamed Elneny in January Amid Rumours of Leicester Interest

Arsenal are willing to offload Egyptian midfielder Mohamed Elneny in the January transfer window, with Leicester reportedly interested in signing him.

Arsenal manager Unai Emery wants £15m for the midfielder, despite him failing to play in a single Premier League game this season. Elneny, 26, signed from FC Basel in 2016, and only recently signed a new long term contract keeping him at the club until 2022.

However, the Gunners are still keen to get rid of the Egyptian to make room in the squad for other midfield reinforcements. The Sun suggests that Leicester are interested in taking the midfielder off Arsenal's hands, having flirted with the idea of making a move for him last year.
