Ainsley Maitland-Niles has reportedly decided to leave Arsenal this summer as he sets his sights on playing ‘at the very top level’.
The 23-year-old, who is on loan at West Brom following a January switch, was left out of Gareth Southgate’s England squad during the international break having figured in five of the previous seven Three Lions matches.
He came close to joining Wolves last summer but Arsenal turned down a £15million bid, and Maitland-Niles remains keen on departing the Emirates this summer as he accepts he may not be part of Mikel Arteta’s long term plans.
According to The Telegraph, Maitland-Niles aims to leave this summer despite two years remaining on his deal and Wolves, Leicester City and Southampton are believed to be interested in signing him.
The right-back, who can also play in midfield and on either wing, also believes there is a chance that he could attract interest from top Premier League clubs – especially given his homegrown status.
