Ainsley Maitland-Niles wants to leave Arsenal on loan to boost Euro 2020 hopes

Arsenal midfielder Ainsley Maitland-Niles is prepared to push for a loan move this month to boost his chances of making the England squad for Euro 2020, The Mirror reports.

The 23-year-old is a central midfielder by trade, but he has generally played for the Gunners in the full-back or wing-back positions.

Maitland-Niles was the subject of interest from Wolverhampton Wanderers last summer, but the Gunners snubbed the approach to keep him.

At the time, it appeared a superb decision made by the club, given Maitland-Niles played a key role in the club’s FA Cup winning run.
