Sometimes you just have to come out and say something and bluntly as possible.
Arsenal have not managed to sell Shkodran Mustafi or Mohamed Elneny yet this summer and, with just over a week remaining for European clubs to sign players, Unai Emery is not here to play games.
“We have some players and they know their situation,” Emery said on Thursday.
“For example, Elneny and Mustafi, they know their situation in the squad.
“I want the players to be happy here, I want the players to be protagonists here, and last year, for example, with Mustafi and Mo, when they didn’t play, they weren’t happy.
“I spoke with them a lot of times last year in this position and I think it is positive for them to leave and to sign for another team where they can be protagonists, they can be happy and can continue their careers as players.”
Emery went on to insist he wishes the best for both players but it’s pretty clear they have no futures at Arsenal.
The pair have not even been included on the bench in the Gunners’ opening two games of the season and will not feature at Anfield on Saturday. (AFP)
