ARSENAL ace Ainsley Maitland-Niles is set to return to the Premier League once his loan stint at Roma ends.
That is according to the Daily Mirror, who claim that Maitland-Niles is not likely to make a permanent move to the Giallorossi.
The Serie A giants are also unlikely to try and sign the versatile midfielder following his time under Jose Mourinho.
Maitland-Niles has only managed a mere nine appearances across all competitions with Roma, whom he joined in January.
The 24-year-old is unlikely to stay at Arsenal as well as he hasn't managed to convince manager Mikel Arteta.
Arteta is reportedly looking at other options for midfield this summer, such as Wolves star Ruben Neves.
However, his return to the Gunners will put other Premier League clubs on alert.
Everton tried to sign the former England international recently but the North Londoners turned down a £10million bid.
However, Arsenal may be more willing to accept such a fee this time around considering his contract runs out next year.
Maitland-Niles joined the Gunners' academy in 2003 and rose through the ranks before his first senior call-up in 2014.
He then underwent loan spells to Ipswich Town, West Brom and of course Roma.
The midfielder, who can also play at right-back, has amassed a total of three goals and eight assists in 132 appearances for the Premier League giants.

This guy needs to look himself in the mirror and rediscover his early self. He used to be quite confident and good.

If he’s not good enough to play in the Italian league he’s probably not good enough to play in the premier league.
bottom line.... he's just not good enough for top flight football .... period.
