Arsenal's Nigerian starlet Alex Iwobi said his Egyptian teammate Mohamed Elneny "never stops running", praising the central midfielder for the efforts he put in every game.

Elneny, 24, joined Arsenal from Swiss side Basel last January and quickly became a key member of the team's squad, although he has been largely confined to a substitute role in recent Premier League games.

"He is everywhere, he is just everywhere," Iwobi said in a video interview with FourFourTwo on Tuesday.

"He runs so much in training and it shows in the match, he covers lot of distance."

Elneny has made seven appearances in all competitions so far this season, including four in the Premier League. He has not scored but managed to create a goal for Swiss midfielder Granit Xhaka in the 4-1 league win over Hull City last month.

The Egyptian international's only goal with Arsenal came last season in a UEFA Champions League clash against Barcelona at the Nou Camp.
