Arsenal transfer news LIVE: Mourinho wants Maitland-Niles, Aubameyang future UPDATE, Coutinho LATEST, Norwich build-up
JOSE MOURINHO is eyeing Arsenal’s Ashley Maitland-Niles in a January loan swoop for Roma.
The England international, 24, has struggled for playing time with the Gunners this season.
Meanwhile, the Spanish press claim that Barcelona are desperate to send Phillipe Coutinho on loan to the Premier League.
And that puts the Gunners in a strong position, with technical director Edu known to be close to Coutinho’s agent Kia Joorabchian.
However, Arsenal have put former captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang up for sale as they wait to see which clubs are interested.
The majority of clubs are reported not to be willing or able to fund his wages, but there are claims Juventus could do, providing the deal is a loan.
The Gunners are hoping for a strong squad going into the game at Norwich on Boxing Day.
Takehiro Tomiyasu could return a week after picking up an injury in the win at Leeds.
