Arsenal youngster Ainsley Maitland-Niles unlikely to join West Brom

According to The Athletic, Arsenal youngster Ainsley Maitland-Niles is unlikely to join West Bromwich Albion on transfer deadline day. West Brom are interested in securing the services of Maitland-Niles, who can operate as a full-back and as a midfielder, on loan for the rest of the season.

However, the report has claimed that the England international is very unlikely to move to West Brom, who are in real danger of going down to the Championship at the end of the season. Leicester City and Southampton are interested in the 23-year-old, who will now decide between the Foxes and the Saints.

According to WhoScored, Maitland-Niles has made five starts and six substitute appearances in the Premier League and has played five times in the Europa League for Arsenal so far this season.
