Arsenal’s new signing Mohamed Elneny is targeting the treble following the completion of his move to the Emirates Stadium.

On Thursday, the 23-year-old was officially unveiled as Arsenal's first signing of the January transfer window and is understood to have signed a four-and-a-half year deal with the Premier League leaders. 

His move is still subject to the completion of the regulatory processes, but Elneny is setting his sights high after leaving Swiss champions Basel.

"I am hoping that we win the Premier League and cup this season, and the Champions League as well," he told Arsenal Player

"Arsenal is one of the world's greatest teams, and I am very keen to participate positively with my new team and to give my best for the team and for myself."

As well as currently being top of the Premier League, Arsenal are in the fourth round of the FA Cup and last-16 of the Champions League, where they will face reigning European champions Barcelona.
