Wenger mum on Elneny signing

ARSENAL boss Arsene Wenger refused to deny his interest in signing Mohamed Elneny amid reports of a medical taking place on Tuesday.

Reports suggested the FC Basel midfielder underwent a medical in Paris after personal terms were agreed.

Asked whether a deal was close, Wenger said: “You know more than me.

“Sadly we cannot announce anything at the moment. Nothing has been concluded.”

The 23-year-old is expected to provide cover in midfield, where Arsenal have suffered a number of injuries.

Francis Coquelin, Santi Cazorla, Jack Wilshere and Mikel Arteta are all out currently.
