It is hardly going to come as a surprise to Arsenal fans that Ainsley Maitland-Niles has moved to join Jose Mourinho at Roma, with his contract being registered this morning, according to Football.Italia
The report also says that Roma will pay up to €1 million for the player’s temporary move to the Stadio Olimpico: €500,000 guaranteed to Arsenal and €500,000 in possible add-ons, but there is no confirmed option or any obligation for Roma to sign the player permanently in the summer.

Obviously Arsenal will be hoping that AMN can impress everyone in his six months in Italy as it is pretty certain that he will be sold in the summer with just one year left on his Arsenal contract.
Maitland-Niles will not be short of known company with Henrikh Mkhitaryan still on Roma’s books, and Tammy Abraham, Chris Smalling and a few other players that have appeared in the Premier League.
I am sure all at JustArsenal wish him well at his new club, and a successful 2022….

Looks good in the Roma kit, hopefully he’ll get decent game time.
Yeah it suits him! Good luck to him.. he may need it working with Maureen!!
Can’t think of a worse boss lol
Another player who had a clear the air talk with the manager/given a clean slate being shipped out!Xhaka must be the only one who made his way back into the team,is it just a coincidence? anyway good luck to AMN.
My goodness the constant whining and whinging about everything and anything.
We all can’t get whatever we want. Always looking for anything to be outraged about for the sake of it.
Smh
Good luck to him. Hopefully he can play his way into contention for the world cup squad.
As long as he gets the match time and proper guidance that helps him realise his full potential, in whatever position that may be. Wish him all the best.
Also hoping he’ll come back to us equipped with what it takes to hold done a first team spot and contribute to our rise…
