“There’s nothing impossible in the English Premier League, we still have our chance to compete for the title, we have to fight till the end, many surprises can occur at any point,” Elneny told beINSports.

“If we fail to compete for the title this season, we have to prepare for the next season, but currently we are only thinking about finishing as high as possible in the league.”

Elneny who arrived Arsenal from in January 2016, is pleased with his versatility in Arsene Wenger's squad having being used in defence and midfield.

“Arsene Wenger is a great manager and has made a great name in football, everyone at Arsenal know his importance to the club," he continued.

“Sometimes Wenger starts me in midfield and other times I play as a defender, I’m proud I can adapt quickly and carry out my manager’s instructions.”

Arsenal are five points adrift of the top four and will visit fifth-placed Hotspur for Saturday's league fixture at the Wembley Stadium.
