FC Basel midfielder Mohamed Elneny is edging closer to joining Arsenal in the January transfer window.
The Gunners have already agreed a £5m deal to sign the midfielder. Elneny will now undergo a medical in the next few days and thereafter the deal will be announced once the transfer window opens in January.
According to reports from The Mirror, talks between the two clubs are now at an advanced level. Elneny was allowed to fly home for Christmas but the Egyptian midfielder is expected to travel to London shortly to complete his move to Arsenal.
