Mohamed Elneny revealed he broke down in tears when Arsenal offered him a one-year contract extension earlier this year.
The Egyptian midfielder was sidelined for nine months following surgery on a knee injury in January. At one point Elneny – who is the longest-serving Arsenal player in the current squad – was convinced that his time in north London was up as his contract was due to expire at the end of the 2022/23 season.
But the Gunners surprised him with a new deal earlier in February which made the 31-year-old star extremely emotional.
