Arsenal 'open to selling Ainsley Maitland-Niles, Eddie Nketiah this summer'

Arsenal are reportedly open to the idea of both Ainsley Maitland-Niles and Eddie Nketiah leaving the Emirates Stadium on permanent deals this summer.

Maitland-Niles has spent the second half of the 2020-21 campaign on loan at West Bromwich Albion, making 10 appearances for the Baggies, who appear to be heading back down to the Championship.

Nketiah, meanwhile, has made 28 appearances for the Gunners this term but has managed just six goals, including two in 17 outings in the Premier League.

According to The Sun, Arsenal are willing to sell both players during this summer's transfer window but could ultimately price the pair out of exits.

The report claims that Mikel Arteta's side want £20m fees for the duo, who are seemingly not part of the manager's long-term plans at the Emirates Stadium.

Nketiah is thought to be a target for West Ham United, while Maitland-Niles has been linked with the likes of Crystal Palace, Wolverhampton Wanderers and Leicester City.
