Arsenal fans will no doubt hope this means Maitland-Niles stays put, with the versatile star looking like he could be a very useful squad player.
Maitland-Niles has also shown himself to be a big-game player with his strong displays in the Community Shield and in last season’s FA Cup semi-final and final victories.
Leave dnt let him be sold away bcs NILES is a good player under d Coach MIKEL ARTETA.
