Arsenal have reportedly decided to hand Mohamed Elneny a new contract at the Emirates Stadium, but remain at an impasse with Jack Wilshere's deal.
According to the Mirror's Darren Lewis, Arsenal were open to selling the Egyptian last summer, but after the sale of Francis Coquelin to Valencia in January, they're eager to keep him and want to extend his stay past 2020.
The 25-year-old is largely utilised as a squad player for the Gunners—he has made 26 appearances in all competitions, but only nine have come in the Premier League.
