According to the Mirror, Leeds and Crystal Palace are both keen to sign Arsenal’s Ainsley Maitland-Niles this summer.
Monaco are also watching the 23-year-old, who was the subject of a approach from Wolves as the Mirror add.
Maitland-Niles has impressed since joining West Brom on loan in January, making nine Premier League starts for the Baggies under Sam Allardyce.
The Mirror claim that Arsenal might cash in on the 5-cap England international, so keep an eye on this one.
One man who has been left impressed with Maitland-Niles in the past is Gary Lineker, who pinpointed two impressive parts of his game.
Tweeting in 2018, the BBC Match of the Day host hailed the £35,000-a-week man for his calmness and maturity – you can see his tweet in full below.
Another significant footballing figure in Ian Wright has also been dazzled by the London-born player in the past.
After Arsenal beat Manchester City in last season’s FA Cup semi-final, Wright told his Twitter followers to ‘big up’ the Hale End academy graduate.

Whoever lands Maitland-Niles will be getting an excellent player.
He is young, extremely talented and can also operate in midfield or at full-back.
In our view, Arsenal would be silly to let him go.
