Arsenal, Ainsley Maitland-Niles

Ainsley Maitland-Niles

If Ainsley Maitland-Niles reversed his decision on not wanting to be a right-back, then there is definite scope for him to have a place at Arsenal as a squad option who could even be used as an emergency midfielder.

Nothing seems to suggest that will be the case and this is a scenario where widespread Premier League interest has to be taken advantage of. He was solid enough for West Brom as a No. 8 without pulling up trees, which has been enough to prompt interested parties to take note.

This is a fine occasion to cash in on him and there is plenty of grounds for Arsenal to be making close to £20m.

Verdict: Sell
