Arsenal 'want £20m for Ainsley Maitland-Niles'

Arsenal are reportedly open to selling Ainsley Maitland-Niles during this summer's transfer window but want £20m for the Englishman.

The 22-year-old has made 24 appearances for the Gunners this season, although he did not feature in any of his side's five league fixtures immediately before the lockdown period.

The full-back has a contract at the Emirates Stadium until the end of the 2022-23 campaign.

However, according to The Sun, Mikel Arteta's side are willing to sell him this summer providing that they receive an offer in the region of £20m.

The report claims that Arsenal are keen to generate funds for new signings, while Maitland-Niles's exit could also help the club put together a lucrative package to tempt leading scorer Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang into signing a new deal.

The Gunners are due to resume their 2019-20 Premier League campaign away to the champions Manchester City on June 17.
