It has now been confirmed that Arsenal midfielder Ainsley Maitland-Niles has secured a season long loan away to Southampton.
The 25-year-old has never really convinced Mikel Arteta and it was always going to be the case that the one time England international was going to depart in this transfer window.
Sky Sports broke the news and accompanied it with a video on Twitter.
It is a shame that it never really worked out for Ainsley but it is just a loan at the moment and the door may not be closed permanently.
Regardless, we wish him all the best this season with the Saints.

Same old mistakes, same mistakes made january last year, outgoing players not replaced? Fingers crossed.
Good luck AMN, show everyone what you can do.
He should have been retained since there are injuries to players in the midfield and we couldn’t sign Luiz or Danilo.
Nile can still do a good job in the midfield but now he has gone, all the best to you Nile.
Hope all goes well for this. guy and he finds his place/form…
What is wrong with say Ainsley Maitland-Niles secured a loan to premiership club side. We can all see it him. Why call him an outcast.
Going by similar situations since MA appointment,ANM Arsenal career is over for sure.
