Official: ElNeny is a Gunner

Mohamed Elneny is officially an Arsenal player.

After weeks of negotiations, Arsenal have confirmed that the 23-year-old Egyptian international has now joined the club, and could be in line to play against Stoke on Sunday.

It’s understood that the player has signed a four-and-a-half year contract at the Emirates Stadium, with the fee thought to be in the region of £5 – £7.5 million.


The signing comes as a response to the spate of injuries Arsenal have suffered in central midfield, but there’s enough about Elneny to suggest he could be a real success at the club.

top European teams to fight it out to sign John Stone

John Stones will be at centre of a £50m transfer scramble in the summer, with Real Madrid, Barcelona, Manchester City and Chelsea all keen to sign him. Everton turned down the opportunity to sell their highly-rated centre half last summer, rejecting a £38million bid from Chelsea. But the interest in Stones has intensified since then, with Rafa Benitez having asked Real Madrid to sign him when he was manager at the club. Though Benitez has since been sacked, Real Madrid have maintained their interest and plan to move in the summer if an appeal against their FIFA transfer ban means that their embargo on signings is lifted. But Barcelona are now also monitoring Stones, though may baulk at the £50m price and Manchester City, who are planning for Pep Guardiola’s reign at the club, also want to sign the player and have already demonstrated their willingness to pay huge sums for top English talent. City have struggled in central defence with Vincent Kompany often injured w...

Arsenal Football Club is delighted to announce that  Theo Walcott  has signed a new long-term contract. The 23-year-old forward has already made 244 first team appearances since joining Arsenal from Southampton in January 2006, during which time he has scored 56 goals. Walcott has also established himself as a regular England international during his time with Arsenal.

West Ham and Norwich keen to sign Inter Milan defender Davide Santon

Image
West Ham and Norwich have asked about taking Davide Santon on loan from Inter Milan. The 25-year-old former Newcastle full back is available after making just nine Serie A appearances this season. The Hammers are keen to strengthen in defence after Carl Jenkinson suffered a serious knee injury during Saturday's 2-2 draw with Manchester City. Jenkinson's loan deal is expected to be terminated early as he returns to Arsenal for treatment. Canaries boss Alex Neil is also in the market for a versatile defender as he looks to lead the club to Premier League safety following the arrivals of Steven Naismith, Ivan Pinto and Timm Klose. Santon only joined Inter on a permanent deal last summer but he has struggled for playing time under Roberto Mancini since November.
