Arsenal central midfielder Ainsley Maitland-Niles will leave for another Premier League club in the summer transfer window for £8 million, according to The Sun.

The report in the British tabloid has claimed that Maitland-Niles, who can also operate as a full-back, is expected to leave Arsenal for another club in the Premier League this summer.

The Gunners are reportedly expected to get £8 million for the 24-year-old £48,000-a-week (SalarySport) England international.

No future at Arsenal for Ainsley Maitland-Niles

In our opinion, there is no future for Ainsley Maitland-Niles at Arsenal under manager Mikel Arteta.

The 24-year-old spent the second half of this season on loan at AS Roma in Italy.

Maitland-Niles did not have a particularly good spell, making seven starts and one substitute appearance in Serie A and two starts and one substitute appearance in the Conference League.

The 24-year-old is unlikely to get into the Arsenal starting lineup next season on a regular basis even with Europa League football on offer.

Ainsley Maitland-Niles has one more year left on his contract, and, in our view, it would be best for him and for Arsenal if they part company.

For good.
