Wilshere backs Elneny for important Arsenal role this season

Former Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere thinks Mohamed Elneny has an important role to play in Mikel Arteta's team this season.

The 28-year-old returned to North London in the summer after spending the entire 2019-20 campaign on loan in the Turkish Super Lig with Besiktas.

He has rediscovered his form at the club and he is gradually proving to be a key player for the Gunners with 11 appearances across all competitions.

Elneny recently recovered from coronavirus having tested positive during the last international break in Egypt but he was an unused substitute in the Gunners' 2-1 loss to Wolverhampton Wanderers on Sunday.
