Arsenal midfielder Ainsley Maitland-Niles is delighted with his early form at West Brom.

The versatile midfielder, who can also play on either flank as a full-back, swapped the Emirates Stadium for a relegation battle at The Hawthorns in January where he will remain for the rest of the season.

"It's another loan deal, you are going to end up going back to the club eventually," Maitland-Niles told talkSPORT.

"It was just more of a chance for me to show what I'm capable of other than sitting on the bench for the rest of the season and rotting away.

"The main reason was being able to play as there's nothing better than playing. I felt it would be great to experience the work of people trying to save their careers and stay in the Premier League.

"I think it was the perfect fit for me to be here and show them the qualities I can produce."
