Arsenal midfielder Ainsley Maitland-Niles' move to Roma is stalling.

The Gunners utility has been in talks with Roma about a loan move to Italy this month - and has even talked over the switch with coach Jose Mourinho.

However, Calciomercato.com says negotiations have stalled in recent days.

The stumbling block is terms of the loan and the prospect of a permanent option.

As such, Roma are now seeking alternatives, including Eintracht Frankfurt defender Almamy Touré.
