Arsenal midfielder Mohamed Elneny has signed a new deal with the Premier League club.

He has since played 147 games for the Gunners, scoring five goals as well as recording 10 assists. Arsenal have not confirmed the length of Elneny s contract.
Speaking to Arsenal Media, Elneny said: I love this club and I feel like part of this family.
I want to continue at this amazing club and amazing family and I m very happy and very excited for the future.
Almost 7 years with Arsenal but they don’t seem to be enough I’m still learning, I’m still growing, and I want to do so much more for the team and the club I love… I�…
Hector Bellerin insisted Arsenal s squad had no doubt over the quality of Nicolas Pepe after the club s record signing scored a brace to secure a dramatic Europa League win over Vitoria SC.
Pepe had scored only once for the Gunners prior to Thursday s Europa League Group F clash at the Emirates Stadium, but the former Lille star took his tally to three with two free-kicks.
Having replaced the ineffective Alexandre Lacazette, Pepe curled home an 80th-minute equaliser before snatching a 3-2 win in stoppage time.
Despite having had to wait for his team-mate to come to the fore in an Arsenal shirt, Bellerin never had any concerns over Pepe s ability to come up with moments of match-winning brilliance.
We know what he s capable of, we ve been training with hi…
With the end of one transfer saga comes the start of another.
Robert Lewandowski has secured a long-awaited move to Barcelona, fulfilling a dream in the process and leaving Bayern Munich in the market for a new striker to lead their line.
But just how do you go about finding a like-for-like replacement for the most prolific marksman anywhere in the world?
One suggestion is that Bayern will make do with what they have, with Sadio Mane – a wide forward rather than a striker – having already been recruited from Liverpool this window.
While that may work, there are other potential options out there for Bayern to consider ahead of their latest title defence as they aim to win the Bundesliga for an 11th time in a row.

Roberto Mancini struck a confident note as he set his Italy team the target of a semi-final berth on the eve of the European Championship.
The Azzurri will contest the very first game of the tournament when they face Turkey at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome on Friday.
As a result of their failure to qualify for the 2018 World Cup, it is in fact five years since the Italians featured at a major tournament.
But, having avoided defeat in their last 27 outings, Italy are among the favourites to go all the way at the tournament.
And the former Manchester City boss was in no mood to play down their chances, preferring instead to set his sights on a trip to Wembley in the last four.
I think after everything we have gone through, now is the time to try and …
“I had to adapt to a new system but I am satisfied with the way things are going and am happy to be here”.
Those are the words of Matthijs de Ligt who has made it crystal clear that he does not regret choosing to join Juventus as opposed to joining Barcelona during the summer transfer window. The pursuit of the youngster’s signature seemed to last for an eternity, as he was one of many top Ajax stars that had been heavily linked with a move away from Amsterdam in the wake of the club’s sensational run to the latter stages of last season’s UEFA Champions League competition.
It has been a great run so far this season for de Ligt who seems to be settling into his role quite nicely, to the point where many are pointing towards Juve as serious contenders in…

Starting with the hosts, while Arsenal might still find themselves in the midst of a remarkable Premier League campaign, it appears that the Gunners are enduring somewhat of a recent wobble. Although Mikel Arteta s youngsters might still find themselves holding a shock three-point buffer at the top of the Premier League table, the Gunners do have the feel of a side seeking a crucial boost on Wednesday night. Left stunned away at relegation scrappers Everton on February 4th as they slumped to a 1-0 loss at Goodison Park, fans around north London saw their side drop more points over the weekend. …

Liverpool still have a lot to prove despite maintaining their strong start to the Premier League season, so says new boss Arne Slot.
Goals from Luis Diaz and Mohamed Salah in Sunday s 2-0 win over Brentford continued the Dutchman s perfect record as Reds head coach following their opening-day win over Ipswich Town last week.

Simply looking to claim a EURO 24 qualifying boost on Thursday evening, Sweden will travel to Baku when they meet Azerbaijan.
Azerbaijan
Starting with the hosts, although Azerbaijan might have opened October’s international break with a EURO 24 qualifying victory away at Estonia, it appears that was just a minor boost for Gianni De Biasi’s side. Last seen putting in a toothless performance as they suffered a 1-0 loss at home against Austria, the Blues have managed to muster just four points from their Group F appearances this year. With their dreams of securing a famous top-two finish long since going up in smoke, the former Alaves boss will be more than aware that his squad faces another stern examination here. Putting in a nightm…
