Wolverhampton Wanderers are reportedly closing in on signing Arsenal midfielder Ainsley Maitland-Niles in a £20m deal.

Wolverhampton Wanderers have reportedly emerged as the favourites to sign Arsenal midfielder Ainsley Maitland-Niles.

Despite playing a crucial part in Arsenal's FA Cup run at the end of the season, club officials are ready to cash in on the versatile academy graduate for the right price.

While Tottenham Hotspur have previously been linked with the 22-year-old, the Evening Standard says that Wolves are expected to win the race for his signature.

The report suggests that Maitland-Niles is happy to make the switch to Molineux, where he is likely to be used at wing-back due to the long-term knee injury suffered by Jonny.

Although a fee is yet to be agreed, it is suggested that Wolves will need to pay £20m plus add-ons to get a deal over the line.

Maitland-Niles has made a total of 100 appearances for Arsenal in all competitions.
