Ainsley Maitland-Niles will discover at the end of the season if he still has a future at Arsenal, Mikel Arteta has confirmed.
The 25-year-old is currently on loan at Southampton, although as Premier League rules state he can't face his parent club at the Emirates Stadium on Friday night, it means he will not be included in Ruben Selles' matchday squad for the first time in just over a month.
Once Maitland-Niles is available for selection again, six games will be left of his Southampton loan spell and it seems unlikely that this deal will be made permanent in the summer transfer window, especially if he's unable to help them avoid relegation to the Championship.
