English soccer club Arsenal signs Egyptian player

England’s Arsenal soccer club says it has signed Egyptian midfielder Mohamed Elneny from Swiss side Basel for an undisclosed fee.

“Arsenal have signed Mohamed Elneny from FC Basel,” the club announces on its website. “Everyone at Arsenal would like to welcome Mohamed to the club.”

The club discloses neither the length of Elneny’s contract nor the transfer fee, but British media reports suggest they had paid around £5 million ($7.2 million, 6.6 million euros) for the 23-year-old.
