Ainsley Maitland-Niles breaks silence on Arsenal's title challenge amid relegation admission

Ainsley Maitland-Niles has claimed he doesn't speak to his Arsenal teammates about their ongoing Premier League title charge.

The Hale End academy graduate is currently on loan at Southampton, who sit bottom of the table whilst the Gunners are top of the pile, something that the versatile defender has said he doesn't speak about with the likes of Bukayo Saka and Emile Smith Rowe. "We don’t speak about what is happening at each others' teams", Maitland-Niles told The Sun.

"It's more like, 'Hi, are you good? Hope you’re well and I’ll see you soon'. I'm just staying focused because I'm trying to help the team and get us out of this relegation battle."
