Ainsley Maitland-Niles: Arsenal midfielder set to move to Roma on loan for rest of season

Arsenal midfielder Ainsley Maitland-Niles is set to complete a loan move to Roma for the rest of the season.

The 24-year-old England international will travel to Italy for a medical after the Gunners agreed a deal with the Seria A side, managed by Jose Mourinho.

Maitland-Niles has made 11 appearances this season, but has only started two Premier League games.

In August, he voiced his frustration with a lack of playing time at Arsenal.

Everton were hopeful of signing him during the summer transfer window after he spent the second half of last season on loan at West Brom, but Arsenal did not want him to leave the Emirates.
