Elneny has established himself as a first-team player in the Besiktas midfield.

The Fanatik newspaper claim that Elneny has an €18m clause but that Arsenal.

Elneny got off to a rocky start and picked up two red cards. The Black-Whites have won four games and drawn one out of the five games Elneny featured in since returning from his last suspension.

Arsenal are currently without a manager after the sacking of Unai Emery and it remains to be seen whether his replacement will have long term plans for the midfielder.

Besiktas have won their last four games in a row and are currently just three points behind leaders Sivasspor.
