Arsenal are ready to offload Ainsley Maitland-Niles for £20m as they look to put together a lucrative deal to secure Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's services.

The 22-year-old may not be the only fringe player on the way out as the Spaniard looks to shape his squad.
But amid the potential turnover of players Arteta hopes to retain Aubameyang who has been linked with a move elsewhere.
The Gabon international has been Arsenal's main source of goals since joining in 2018.

Their top priority though is keeping hold of Aubameyang.
His 20 goals this term have been crucial following a stellar showing last season that saw him pick up the Golden Boot.

However former Gunners frontman Ian Wright has warned Aubameyang about the dangers of prolonging his contract negotiations.
He said: "If the season was still going and he continued scoring goals then he'd be in a strong position.
"But I think the position he's in now - we're talking about someone who's going to be 32 next summer.
"He is getting into a situation where if he does see that contract out, are the same people going to come for him?"
