Arsenal utility Ainsley Maitland-Niles targeting more minutes

Arsenal utility Ainsley Maitland-Niles has admitted he is always looking for more minutes.

The 24-year-old played 90 minutes in midfield in the 1-0 win over Watford on Sunday.

It was Maitland-Niles' second start of the season in the Premier League, and the Englishman admits he wants more playing time.

"Of course I'm looking for more minutes," Maitland-Niles told the club's website.

"I just need to keep my head down and keep going and working hard."

Asked about playing in midfield, he added: "Yeah always happy to be on the pitch and play, it's a good feeling."
