Wolves are reportedly interested in Arsenal midfielder Ainsley Maitland-Niles.
Nuno Espirito Santo’s side have contacted Arsenal over the 23 year old. Last month, the Wolves had offered £15million for the midfielder, but the Gunners had immediately rejected such a low amount. However, now Arsenal has placed a £25 million fee on the youngster.
Arteta has spoken about Maitland-Niles and his progress at Arsenal. Arteta expects the midfielder to improve – which explains why the Gunners didn’t want to sell him at £15 million.
“He has to be able to convince me every day in training that he can compete at this level,” said the Spaniard earlier about Maitland-Niles. “Not once every three months but every three days. The way he is playing at the moment is showing me that he can do it.
“His mentality and the way he is going about every single detail about the preparation of a football game is much better than before. I am delighted and very happy for him because he is really changing a lot of things around him to become the player he can be.
“The best way to show a player how his manager thinks about him, is to give him the chance to play or not. And today in a final again he started. He played the 90 minutes, like he did against City in the semi-final and Chelsea as well in the final.”
