According to the report on GOAL, Mikel Arteta praised Mohamed Elneny's contribution for the club and urged him to continue delivering his best for the Gunners.

Mikel Arteta's reaction about Mohamed Elneny

“I will say that for me, he’s one of the most important players in the squad. For what he does when you give him the chance to play and for the things that he does when he doesn’t play.
“It’s a phenomenal person and then you have to judge the footballer as well that sometimes doesn’t get probably the credit that he deserves.”

Arsenal emerge as surprise favourites to land talented Manchester City star

Earlier, Sports Brief had reported how Arsenal emerged as surprise favourites to land Manchester City striker Gabriel Jesus.

Mikel Arteta’s side are looking to bolster their attack in the summer, especially with the impending exit of Alexandre Lacazette and Eddie Nketiah.

Both strikers have their deals running out at the end of the season, and there are no signs of a possible renewal.

With their exits, Arteta will be left only with Nicolas Pepe and Gabriel Martinelli as central attacking options.

The Athletic, as quoted by Daily Mail, reports that the North London side has flirted with the idea of acquiring Jesus, 25, from Manchester City.
