Arsenal midfielder Maitland-Niles ignoring Wolves, Newcastle talk

Arsenal midfielder Ainsley Maitland-Niles is targeting a Community Shield appearance against Liverpool this weekend.

Maitland-Niles is the subject of transfer interest from Wolves.

But the Mirror says Maitland-Niles is determined to stay focused on Arsenal despite doubts over his future.

Wolves have had a £15m bid rejected for the Arsenal midfielder who may be allowed to leave the Emirates this summer to help fund a squad shake-up.

The Midlands club are likely to come back with a higher offer as Arsenal look for at least £20m with Newcastle and clubs in Germany also interested in the 22-year-old.

But Maitland-Niles, who started in Arsenal's pre-season win over MK Dons on Tuesday, is not concerned about the situation and is concentrating on the Community Shield against Liverpool at Wembley on Saturday.
