Dead body found at house of Arsenal midfielder Mohamed Elneny
The father of Arsenal’s Mohamed Elneny was left shocked when he discovered a dead body in the midfielder’s Egypt house.
Elneny’s dad Nasser came across the body of a man when he visited the villa in Mahalla al-Kubra, according to the BBC.
Police have said that the man was attempting to steal electrical cables in the property, before being electrocuted.
