Newly-promoted Nottingham Forest 'make Arsenal outcast Ainsley Maitland-Niles a top transfer target this summer', as boss Steve Cooper looks to bolster his squad for the Premier League

Nottingham Forest are reportedly targeting Arsenal outcast Ainsley Maitland-Niles after being promoted to the Premier League this summer.

The 24-year-old only has one year left on his current contract with the Gunners and boss Mikel Arteta appears set to sell the versatile player.

The midfielder struggled for game time last season and was eventually sent out on loan to Serie A side Roma in the January transfer window.
