West Ham and Everton are battling it out for the signing of Ainsley Maitland-Niles after his release from Arsenal.
According to a report from Fussball Transfers, ex Arsenal player Ainsley Maitland-Niles is firmly on the radars of both West Ham and Everton in the summer transfer window.
He is available on a free transfer after he was released from Arsenal earlier this month.
And it seems as though the Hammers and the Toffees are set to go head-to-head for his signature…
West Ham and Everton face off in race to sign Ainsley Maitland-Niles after Arsenal release
Fussball Transfers reckon that the 25-year-old former Gunner could end up at either the London Stadium or Goodison Park this summer.
Listen, I think Maitland-Niles would be a decent addition to our squad on a free transfer but I wont be losing any sleep if he joins Everton instead.
He is technically very good and has pace to burn. The 25-year-old also has energy, stamina and athleticism in abundance.
The Englishman is a very solid player but my main problem with him is that he hasn’t really nailed down any position in particular.
Sure, versatility is a good thing but it can also be a hindrance to players at times – and that has certainly been the case with the 25-year-old.
I think that West Ham need to make some really exciting additions this summer, with a Europa League campaign on the horizon.
Let’s just let Everton have Ainsley Maitland-Niles if they really want him.
