ARSENAL - Elneny sends warning to Gunners about his old club Basel

Published on: 27 September 2016

Gunners' player Mohamed Elneny has warned Arsenal to watch out for Omar Gaber in their Champions League clash against Basel.

“I didn’t have a lot of experience before I moved to Basel,” Elneny told to arsenal.com. “I learned a lot and gained plenty of experience playing for them in both the Champions League and Europa League.

“I was there for three years and also learned how to be more punctual both on and off the pitch, and not to fear any opponent we face. I liked the club and enjoyed my time there.

“I have good memories of my time playing for them. It will be a good opportunity to see everyone again and the fans, who I have a very good relationship with.”

Elneny could come up against fellow Egypt international Omar Gaber on Wednesday night, and the Arsenal midfielder says they have a close relationship.

“Omar is like a brother to me, ever since we played together for the Egyptian youth team,” he said.“He’s a very talented player and I’m sure he’s going to enjoy his experience over there and will become a successful player for them. I told him when he moved there that he will like it at Basel and the people will support him. He’s a good player and I wish him all the best".
