Arsenal contact West Ham over transfer as double swoop eyed involving Lucas Paqueta

Arsenal have reportedly offered West Ham the chance to sign Ainsley Maitland-Niles on a permanent deal before the transfer window closes on September 1.

The England international, 24, could join Lucas Paqueta at the London Stadium as the Hammers are believed to be in talks with Lyon to sign the Brazilian winger, also 24. Arsenal have previously been linked with Paqueta, who has 33 senior caps at international level.

It's believed the Gunners are keen to sell Maitland-Niles before the end of this month. He's been at London Colney for 19 years and worked his way up through the ranks, making 132 appearances to date and winning three trophies - including the FA Cup.
