Ernenni's performance at the Africa Cup of Nations has piqued the interest of some European teams who are ready to try to bring him in the summer window.
Football.London reported that after a strong performance with Egypt in the Africa Cup of Nations, Ernenni is gaining attention from several European clubs.
The player's contract expires this summer after he received an olive branch from Turkish Super League side Fenerbahce and Besiktas.
Football.London did not confirm whether the two teams would pursue him again this time, but given his imminent status as a free agent, it is expected that this will be the case.
After reaching the final of the Africa Cup of Nations, it is not surprising to see him selected as the best team of the tournament by the Non-FA.
In all seven games that Egypt has played, Ernenni has started all of them and has only been replaced twice – in the 78th minute against Guinea-Bissau and in the 86th minute against Cameroon.
The end result is that he has played longer in the Africa Cup of Nations than he has played at Arsenal this season. In the knockout rounds alone, his playing time is already higher than his playing time at Arsenal.
The only regret is that Pepe was not selected for the best team and did not even make it to the substitute list.
He was named to the best team of the tournament by SofaScore and is the highest-rated player in the Africa Cup of Nations.
The Arsenal winger contributed 2 players and 1 assist in three starts and created 4 chances against Egypt. If his teammates were able to turn some of those chances into goals, Egypt might not have reached the final.
Unfortunately, non-FA decision-makers did not choose Pepe. The good news is that this doesn't change the fact that he's returning to Arsenal in good shape.
In January, Ernenni gained the attention of Saudi teams, who wanted to waive him in the summer window, but now he has also attracted the interest of some European teams.
When Thomas or Xhaka can't play, he remains arsenal's most experienced midfield substitute.
