Arsenal set price tag for Ainsley Maitland-Niles

Arsenal have set their asking price for midfielder Ainsley Maitland-Niles amid widespread Premier League interest.

The England international is deemed surplus to requirements, and has been tipped to head through the exit door this summer.

The Gunners have already spent £71m on new signings, and they now need to recoup funds before making more additions to the squad.

Maitland-Niles is one of the players likely to leave the club, and according to The Sun, he is valued in the region of £20m.

Leicester City, Southampton, Burnley, Wolverhampton Wanderers are all interested in signing the versatile midfielder.

Newcastle United are exploring a loan deal for the 23-year-old, although their proposal is likely to be rejected by the Gunners.

Aside from Maitland-Niles, Joe Willock and Eddie Nketiah are among the other graduates likely to leave in the coming weeks.

The Gunners value Willock at £30m after his sublime loan spell at Newcastle United. They have set a £20m price tag for Nketiah.
