Nottingham Forest are weighing up a move for Arsenal's Ainsley Maitland-Niles as they continue to back manager Steve Cooper ahead of their Premier League return.
Forest, who yesterday broke their club transfer record by signing £17million striker Taiwo Awoniyi from Union Berlin, view Maitland-Niles as a replacement for wing-back Djed Spence who helped the club win promotion last season during his loan spell from Middlesbrough.
Maitland-Niles, 24, helped Arsenal win the FA Cup in 2020 but has subsequently been on loan to West Brom and Roma. Known for his versatility, he has also been capped five times by England.
