‘Elneny deserves life contract at Arsenal’ – Fans impressed with Egypt star after Leeds United display
Egypt international Mohamed Elneny has received praise from Arsenal fans after his solid display helped the team to a 2-1 Premier League win against Leeds United at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday.
Since the injury sustained by Ghana international Thomas Partey on April 4 in the 3-0 league defeat against Crystal Palace, the 29-year-old has stepped in well in his absence, helping the Gunners to fourth position on the 20-team table.
He was solid when Arsenal defeated Chelsea 4-2 at Stamford Bridge and was exceptional in the 3-1 win against Manchester United. His performances has left many Arsenal fans singing his name, with others saying should the team qualify for the Champions League next season, he should take the credit.
Below is how Arsenal fans reacted on Twitter to his latest display.

Mohamed Elneny deserves so much credit if we get into the CL. After limited game time all year, he comes in at a crucial stage of the season to cover for arguably our most important player and has been sensational.

Just a word of acknowledgment for the often forgotten Mohamed Elneny.

Since he’s come in he’s been the rock of our midfield, perhaps even the team - bags of energy, keeps it simple, always finds his pass and not afraid of a challenge.
Well done @ElNennY 👏#COYG #ARSLEE 🔴⚪️ pic.twitter.com/28UEpzWXeI

Mohamed Elneny rose to the challenge when we needed him.

Four wins in four matches for Arsenal since Mohamed Elneny came into the team. If they do qualify for the Champions League he should be remembered as an absolutely pivotal part of that achievement. Has emerged from nowhere to change the course of Arsenal’s season

Mohamed Elneny will end the season as the most improved player for us. He has provided that pivotal role at crucially important time.We need to tag some respect to him @AFTVMedia @Arsenal @ElNennY

With Elneny’s contract set to run down at the end of the season, another set of fans have called on the club to hand him an extension.
Mohamed #Elneny is the kind of squad player you want. Delivers when called upon. Deserves a new contract from a performance standpoint. pic.twitter.com/DMuGrPx1sb
— Albrecht Schulz🇺🇦 (@CojaboBerlin) May 8, 2022
Elneny has not put a foot wrong in his last four games. His confidence level, tackles and distributions are unbelievable. Give him a new contract to be part of this team, and send Lokonga out on loan @Arsenal The likes of Pepe should be thrown out.. #ARSLEE

Can we convince elneny for another year.
— jay madan (@jaymadan) May 8, 2022
1+1 yr contract such a positive guy .
Always happy loves the club
I don’t mind handing Mo Elneny a new contract. Very decent squad player who is contented with a place on the bench and ready to help the team when called upon without any fuss.
— RUFUS (@rufus_alih) May 8, 2022
Anyone want to disagree on the importance of having Holding and Elneny as squad players? Both have been brilliant since filling in for their respective roles. Personally I'd renew Elneny's contract straight away. Eddie has been great too.
— 🅱️illy (@Bi11ster) May 8, 2022
Hope Elneny gets a contract extension
— kiz (@lockycb) May 9, 2022
I think Elneny should get a new 2yr contract. He will be a very useful squad player next season especially now that we are back in Europe. He wants to stay too. We need to sign another midfielder tho. Rotation will be key, so we need plenty bodies in.

80% of the fan base embracing a new Elneny contract. Every day is a fight. pic.twitter.com/br5iqJfgSC

I think Elneny deserves a new contract, he’s been excellent since he’s come back in. His experience and calmness has been invaluable amongst this young side.

Another clinic from Sheikh Mohamed Elneny. Give him a new deal instantly.
— Kash (@Kaash_3) May 8, 2022
Elneny has made 11 appearances in the league and played 530 minutes this season . He has been selected in the starting XI in five of these appearances across their 35 fixtures and has been used off the bench as a substitute on six occasions.
In total, Elneny, who returned to Arsenal in August 2020 after a loan spell at Besiktas, has recorded two league assists this term.
