Arsenal midfielder Francis Coquelin has hailed the signing of Egyptian international Mohamed Elneny, and has said the pair are forming a formidable partnership in the midfield engine room.
Elneny was signed by Arsenal from Swiss club FC Basel in the January transfer window and has impressed in his appearances for the Premier League club so far.
“It’s going well, he’s a great addition to the squad,” Coquelin said.

“He’s settled really quickly, because don’t forget he’s only been here for two months.
“We are getting stronger each game, and if it can carry on this way it will be a good partnership.”
Third-placed Arsenal, who trail Premier League leaders Leicester City by 11 points, travel to Upton Park to face sixth-place West Ham United on Saturday.

Tips for job-seekers
- Do not submit your application through the Easy Apply button on LinkedIn. Employers receive between 600 and 800 replies for each job advert on the platform. If you are the right fit for a job, connect to a relevant person in the company on LinkedIn and send them a direct message.
- Make sure you are an exact fit for the job advertised. If you are an HR manager with five years’ experience in retail and the job requires a similar candidate with five years’ experience in consumer, you should apply. But if you have no experience in HR, do not apply for the job.
