Arsenal boss Unai Emery believes it’s better for Shkodran Mustafi and Mohamed Elneny to leave the club to save their careers.

The European transfer window closes on the 2nd of September, with the North Londoners hoping to move the players on.

With David Luiz and Dabi Ceballos arriving this summer, Emery says it makes sense for the duo to seek moves away from the Emirates:

Elneny and Mustafi know their position in the squad and really I want the players to be happy here, I want the players to be protagonists here.

"Last year with Mustafi and Mo, when they didn't play they weren't happy and I spoke with them a lot of times last year and this pre-season and I think it is positive for them to leave and sign for another team where they can be protagonists and be happy and continue their careers.

"They are very big players but for one circumstance or another, they are going to have less chances to show their capacity or to be happy with us and the minutes they play in matches.

"But they know the situation and really, really I am wishing the best for them and I think now the best for them is to be protagonists in another team and sign and to get another challenge for them with another team.

"We respect them, they are training with us, but they know their situation and only I am wishing the best for them."
