Leicester Interested in Mohamed Elneny With Midfielder Expected to Leave Arsenal on Loan

Leicester are interested in signing Arsenal midfielder Mohamed Elneny, who has struggled to assert himself at the Emirates since Unai Emery's appointment as Gunners manager.

The Egypt international is believed to want regular first team minutes and that looks unlikely to come anytime soon, with Granit Xhaka and Lucas Torreira firmly established as the club's first choice central midfielders.

According to the Mirror, the midfielder will see what options are available to him in the January window, with Leicester reportedly interested in bringing the former Basel man to the East Midlands.

However, while there are no further details in the report, the Evening Standard have reported that Elneny has been told to leave the club on loan, having made just seven appearances under Emery.
