Oof, that’s a blow.

I really thought that one was shaping up to happen.

So no right back again.

hes not even a right back, the definition of 'can do a job' there if no other option, like delph as a left back.

Maitland-Niles will probably only be staying because he might get a fairer hearing from the new Arsenal manager - who should be getting installed in about 3/4 weeks time.

Not so sure they will replace arteta...luckily for him the next fixtures are much better and I don't see them losing many points which will help him to sale them the dream and continue to underperform for the rest of the season. Maitland-Niles will not play much especially as they are not in Europe this season...

'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."

Maybe. But the mood amongst Arsenal fans wont be lightened by beating Norwich. He's in for a crisis after crisis until the owners finally call time.

Who hasn't had a call up to play right back for Southgate?

He was being bought as a right back, but none of this matters because he isn’t coming.m

Says more about how clueless we are that we thought he was a good option for our long term right back.
Bizarre
