He deffo just wants an improved contract.
'MAITLAND-NILES AND ARSENAL NOW WANT TO MOVE FORWARD'
Sky Sports News' Dharmesh Sheth on The Transfer Show:
"It was getting quite messy between Ainsley Maitland-Niles and Arsenal yesterday. There was that Instagram post that Maitland-Niles put out about wanting to play for a club where he is going to play.
"I have been speaking to someone quite close to Arsenal and this is the information that I’ve got. We know from the beginning of the transfer window, if a suitable offer came in for Maitland-Niles, then Arsenal would consider it, but they still maintained that he would be an important part of the Arsenal squad.
"They had one offer from Everton that came in yesterday, it was a loan with an option. I’m told the option was low, hence why it was rejected out of hand. As a result, Maitland-Niles will be remaining at Arsenal and will be an important part of the squad.
"I’m also told, following that Instagram post, he did hold talks with Mikel Arteta. Arsenal were quite disappointed with the action that Maitland-Niles took on social media, but they have ‘clear the air’ talks and now all parties want to move forward with Maitland-Niles part of that Arsenal squad.
"He will be hoping after these talks, there will more opportunities for him. He’s got a contract at Arsenal that runs out in 2023."
