Leicester City reportedly join the race for Arsenal's Ainsley Maitland-Niles, who is holding out for a move elsewhere in order to boost his England chances.

Leicester City are reportedly contemplating a late move for Arsenal's Ainsley Maitland-Niles.

Fellow academy graduates Bukayo Saka and Emile Smith Rowe are now two of the first names on Mikel Arteta's team sheet, but the versatile Maitland-Niles continues to struggle for game time at Arsenal.

With a spot in England's Euros squad at stake, Maitland-Niles is understood to be desperate for an exit in order to increase his playing time in the second half of the season.

As a result, The Mirror claims that Leicester have now joined a host of Premier League sides who are already in the hunt for the 23-year-old's signature.

The report claims that Maitland-Niles would be open to a move to the King Power, and given his desire to play in midfield, a transfer to Southampton - who are in the market for a full-back - is not a favourable option to him.

West Bromwich Albion and Newcastle United are also believed to be interested in the England international, who has started just five Premier League games all season. body check tags ::
