Unai Emery Publicly Tells Shkodran Mustafi & Mohamed Elneny to Leave Arsenal

Arsenal manager has publicly urged fringe players Shkodran Mustafi and Mohamed Elneny to leave the club before the European transfer windows close at the start of September, with neither part of the Spaniard’s plans at the Emirates Stadium this season.

Both players have failed to even make the bench for either of Arsenal’s opening two Premier League games of the season. Mustafi had been a regular starter in 2018/19 but is now seen as surplus to requirements, while Elneny was already marginalised.

“We have some players and they know their situation. For example, Elneny and Mustafi, they know their situation in the squad,” Emery is quoted as saying by Sky Sports.
