Deal Close – How Arsenal will Line up with Versatile Star

If reports are anything to go by then it looks highly likely that Arsenal have completed their search for a strong defensive midfielder and are closing in to secure his signature.
According to ESPN, Arsenal officials have traveled to Switzerland to seal a deal worth 7 million pounds for Basel star Mohamed Elneny. The player has already completed his medical.
The North Londoners are facing many injury concerns in the midfield department with players like Mikel Arteta, Santi Cazorla and Francis Coquelin out injured. In such a scenario, someone like Elneny is going to be a brilliant addition.

This season, in 28 games, Elneny has netted 6 goals and also provided 2 assists (Transfermarkt).
The 23-year-old Egypt international is a versatile talent and has played effective as a defensive midfielder and also as a creative central midfielder. However, with Ramsey currently performing the central midfield role well, Elneny will mainly be utilized as a DM in place of Flamini.
Here is how we believe Arsenal will line up with Mohamed Elneny.
