UK press reports indicated that Arsenal had opened talks about renewing the contract of Egyptian midfielder Mohamed Elneny, who starred with the Gunners recently. Elneny is scheduled to be free at the end of the season and is expected to choose a new destination when his current contract expires after struggling to become a regular player.  However, with Thomas Partey likely to miss the rest of the season with a thigh injury, Elneny has filled in a nifty spot alongside Granit Xhaka in the midfield. Elneny has started all four of Arsenal's recent victories over Chelsea, Manchester United, West Ham, and Leeds United, completing the full 90 minutes each time, in addition to a crucial pass for Xhaka, who scored against United. While Arsenal is still expected to pursue at least one new midfielder next summer transfer window, the Athletic newspaper reported that talks are now underway to extend Elneny's contract in north London. The 29-year-old joined Arsenal from FC Basel in 2016 and spent 2019-20 on loan at Besiktas. He appeared to be a peripheral figure under both Arteta and his predecessor Unai Emery but has recently emerged as an unlikely star of the side. When three straight defeats left Arsenal’s top-four hopes in jeopardy, Arteta called Elneny into his starting XI for a daunting trip to Chelsea. It ended in victory and the midfielder has since been on the field for every minute of wins against Manchester United, West Ham United and now Leeds.

Despite fans calling for his departure, Juventus have no plans to replace Massimiliano Allegri, regardless of how the Coppa Italia final goes. It wasn't an easy season in Turin for the Italian who returned last summer after the sacking of Andrea Pirlo. As he was forced to dispense with Cristiano Ronaldo once the season started, and star winger Federico Chiesa's season ended in January due to injury, leaving him without major offensive threats for the rest of the season. As reported by Calciomercato.com, Juventus' minimum goal for this season was to qualify for the Champions League, which Allegri's team has already achieved. The Coppa Italia is a great reward, but Juve plans to move forward with the Italian coach regardless of the outcome.
