Southampton, Watford want Arsenal midfielder?

19 June 2021 - 21:04

Southampton and Watford are reportedly lining up offers for Arsenal midfielder Ainsley Maitland-Niles.

  • Chelsea midfielder looking forward to London derby vs Spurs
  • Arsenal in the front row to sign Dutch striker

  • The Englishman has made over 100 appearances for the Gunners, but he has largely played in the full-back positions.

    He sees his future in midfield, and in a recent interview with The Telegraph, he admitted that he could leave the club for good.

    According to The Mirror, Southampton and Watford are interested in the 23-year-old, who was recently on loan at West Brom.

    The Gunners were close to selling him to Wolverhampton Wanderers for £20m last summer before Mikel Arteta blocked the move.

    Arteta is unlikely to do the same this summer. It is claimed that the Gunners could sell him if they receive a similar offer.

    Maitland-Niles made his international debut for England at the beginning of last season after a fine run of club form.

    His career appeared on a high, but he soon fell out-of-favour for the right-back role with Hector Bellerin starting regularly.
