Basel have confirmed that Mohamed Elneny has held transfer talks with another club.
In recent days the Egyptian midfielder has been heavily linked with a winter switch to Premier League outfit Arsenal.
While his Swiss employers have not confirmed which side the 23-year-old has spoken with, it is believed that a move to the Emirates Stadium is close to completion.
"Also absent [from training] was Mohamed Elneny, for who there could be a transfer in the coming days," read a statement on Basel's official website.
It has been claimed that the Gunners will pay £5m for the defence-minded player.
