Ainsley Maitland-Niles 'could still have Arsenal future'

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta is reportedly planning to give Ainsley Maitland-Niles a chance to prove himself in central midfield.

Mikel Arteta has made a U-turn on Ainsley Maitland-Niles' Arsenal future, according to a report.

The 22-year-old had been expected to depart the Emirates Stadium this summer after falling out of favour under Arteta.

However, The Mirror claims that the academy product will be given a chance to prove that he is good enough to nail down a starting spot at Arsenal.

Maitland-Niles has made 91 senior appearances for the Gunners and has featured in a number of positions under Arsene Wenger, Unai Emery and Arteta.

The report indicates that Arteta, who succeeded Emery in December, sees the England Under-21s international as a central midfielder in the future.

Arsenal return to Premier League action on June 17 with a trip to Manchester City.
