Arsenal midfielder Mohamed Elneny has admitted he was a wanted man before he signed a new deal with the Gunners. The 25-year-old signed a new long term contract last week to extend his stay at the Emirates Stadium past 2020, when his old contract was due to expire.
Talking to Arsenal Player, the Egypt international talked of the interest from other clubs, and his desire to fight for his position.
"There were some clubs interested in me because I was not playing enough games and maybe they thought they could sign me or even have me on loan," he said.
