A number of Arsenal fans have taken to Twitter to comment on reports from the Daily Mirror concerning Ainsley Maitland-Niles’s immediate future at the Emirates.

Maitland-Niles has struggled to hold down a place in Mikel Arteta’s plans this term. He has made just five starts in the Premier League, with a further six appearances coming from the bench.

He has not been involved in any of the Gunners’ last three games. And it now appears that he could be on the move before the January window closes.

According to the Daily Mirror, Maitland-Niles is interested in leaving on loan. It is suggested that he wants to boost his hopes of making England’s squad for the European Championships.

The Mirror claims that several Premier League sides are set to be alerted by the 23-year-old’s stance.

The report has been met with a mixed reaction amongst Arsenal supporters on social media. Some clearly think that a loan move would be a good idea.
