Leicester are planning a late bid to rival Southampton and West Brom for the loan signing of Arsenal's Ainsley Maitland-Niles, according to reports.
The 23-year-old, who said his goodbyes to team-mates at the London Colney training ground on Friday, is keen to secure more game-time after making just five starts for Mikel Arteta's side this season.
West Brom and Southampton were the sides Maitland-Niles was deciding between earlier this week and the player's desire to secure a midfield role could prove decisive.
But now according to The Athletic, Leicester are also keen to do a loan deal with the Gunners but are the only side of the trio interested willing to include a purchase option for the summer.
