The two games that Maitland-Niles has started this season have been in the premier league.

A loan move to AS Roma for the rest of the season is set to be completed by Ainsley Maitland-Niles.

The England international will travel to Italy for a medical after the club agreed a deal with the Seria A side.

In 11 appearances this season, Maitland-Niles has two starts.

He voiced his frustration with the lack of playing time at the club.

After he spent the second half of last season on loan at West Brom, he was wanted byEverton but not byArsenal.

He said on social media that he wants to go where he's wanted and where he's going to play.

He would join a group of former teammates, including ex-Manchester United defender Chris Smalling and ex-Chelsea player Tammy Abraham.
