Leicester City have reportedly identified Arsenal midfielder Mohamed Elneny as a target ahead of the January transfer window.
The Egyptian international is believed to be angling for a move away from North London as the New Year approaches, with the Foxes emerging as a potential destination for the player.
It is reported by the Mirror that Elneny is determined to return to playing regular first-team football and would be willing to leave either on loan or permanently in January.
Arsenal are well stocked with options in the middle of the park and could deem the former FC Basel star as surplus to their requirements should a reasonable offer present itself.
Leicester, too, have a host of midfield players at their disposal but are understood to hold a long-term interest in signing the Gunners outcast.
The 26-year-old has started just once in the Premier League but has made five appearances in Arsenal’s Europa League campaign so far this season.
