Elneny’s US tour excitement

Arsenal ace Mohamed Elneny can’t wait to hit the ground running in the club’s tour of the US.

The midfielder said: “Everyone is excited for pre-season in America.

“We are here for 10 or 11 days and we are going to give everything every day to be stronger. It’s been really good so far.

“Sometimes it’s good to change the location, be away from the training ground, and get to know each other better. We have met a few fans, signed some autographs, and the weather is different too.

“I think that’s good for us though, it makes us work harder, makes us stronger. When you train when it’s humid and really hot it’s tougher. It’s hard work but it’s better for us.

“We are going to play three good opponents, and it’s going to be a really good test for us – a good training exercise. Pre-season is always like that, the most important thing is how we put what we have worked on in training out in the games too.

“I’m looking forward to the games, to learn from what we’ve worked on. And hopefully more goals from me!”
