Mido on why Elneny will fit into Arteta’s plans at Arsenal

Former Tottenham Hotspur and Middlesbrough striker Ahmed Hossam Mido thinks Mikel Arteta’s playing style gives Mohamed Elneny "a golden opportunity" to remain at Arsenal.

The 28-year-old struggled for regular first-team action in the last two seasons at the Emirates Stadium after falling out of favour under Unai Emery.

He spent the 2019-20 season on loan in the Turkish Super Lig with Besiktas where he helped the Black Eagles secure a European spot.

Elneny returned to North London in August and he has played in Arsenal’s last two games – a friendly match against MK Dons where he scored a goal and in the FA Community Shield against Liverpool on Saturday.
