Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta revealed that the club lack cover to fill the gap that will be left behind by Maitland-Niles who is exiting to As Roma.
"We are very, very short at the moment. But on a player this cannot be the only argument to keep a player. He was very straight with me and I understood the situation. We are going to move and we are going to look for options because we are very short there." Said Mikel Arteta on Arsenal official website.
Mikel Arteta further revealed that Maitland-Niles approached him and requested for his exit due to lack of enough playing time. Mikel Arteta allowed him to join the club of his choice despite the danger of lacking midfielders ahead.
