“Mohamed Salah is a legend now in Egypt and he’s still playing,” Mohamed Elneny told Arsenal’s official YouTube channel.

“We know that legends are usually when they finish their careers but when they’re still playing and people look at you as a legend this is something big.”

“Toure, because he’s a midfielder I know what he’s doing and I know how it’s different because it’s more difficult than a striker. Strikers get the chance to score all the time and midfielders have to do so many things.”

“But of course I go for Mohamed Salah!”
