Africa-Press – Ghana. <\/strong><\/span>Ainsley Maitland-Niles appears set for a January move to Jose Mourinho’s Roma on a loan deal from Arsenal, which will include an option to buy.<\/p>\n

Mourinho is keen on making the versatile Englishman his first signing of the window and, if all goes to plan, he will travel to Italy when he has recovered from COVID-19, having tested positive last week.<\/p>\n

Maitland-Niles fee<\/p>\n

The two clubs are close to an agreement and the Giallorossi are expected to pay in the region of 600,000 euros to take Maitland-Niles on loan until the end of the season, with an option to make the move permanent for 10 million euros. The Gunners were pushing for a higher buy option, but a compromise seems to have been reached.<\/p>\n

The 24-year-old offers Mourinho various options and that has been a key to the Portuguese boss requesting his signature. Maitland-Niles can play anywhere in midfield, as well as on the right wing and right-back.<\/p>\n

After coming through Arsenal’s youth system, Maitland-Niles has gone on to make 132 appearances for the first team, as well as earning five England caps. Regular game time has been hard to come by, however, and he spent part of last season on loan at West Brom, while this season he has only started two Premier League games for the Gunners.<\/p>\n

Roma are currently sixth in Serie A, two points behind Juventus in fifth and six behind Atalanta in fourth.<\/p>\n
