Arsenal hero Robert Pires says Mohamed Elneny should be a starter.

The 24-year-old has started five league games with a further four appearances coming as a substitute.

“Mohamed Elneny; he's a great player. He's interesting because he is a clearer," Pires told KingFut.com.

“He has a good technique, physically he is amazing, and yeah I think he can help Arsenal, he can help in the midfield.

“When he plays with Coquelin or Xhaka we can see the good combination; good duo.

“So yeah, I like Mohammed Elneny."
