While Arsenal fans were excited by the arrival of Mohamed Elneny to the Emirates in January, there was certainly a sense of hesitation that greeted the Egyptian’s move to north London.

Arsene Wenger’s built a career on unearthing gems in the transfer market and very few had heard of the former Basel midfielder before his move to the Gunners.

The 23-year-old took time to settle at the club but a spectacular goal against Barcelona in the Champions League gave Gooners a glimpse of what they can expect from the Egypt international.

The midfielder was given a starting berth in today’s 4-0 win against Watford today and, after a fine performance, the midfielder broke a 2015/2016 record by playing the most passes in one match by a single player with an incredible 121.
