Elneny, 27, has played for Arsenal since January 2016, and also plays for the Egyptian national team.
He most recently played for Egypt in the Africa Cup of Nations earlier this month.
Earlier this year, fans speculated the player could be leaving the north London-based team because of an emotional Instagram post about his three-year anniversary with the club.
His caption read: ‘The 14th of Jan is a day that will always be engraved in my heart… Three years ago, on this same day, I joined the Arsenal family… I call it family, because it is how it’s like to be here at Arsenal…
‘I’m grateful for every single moment during those 3 years, the tough moments and the many happy ones.
‘I’m grateful for the one of a kind fans, for the coaches, for the colleagues who became real brothers, for everyone.
‘I’m grateful for the past and I’m very much looking forward to the future.’
