Noel Whelan has claimed Arsenal should let Ainsley Maitland-Niles and Eddie Nketiah leave the club this month.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The former Leeds striker, speaking exclusively to Football Insider<\/strong>, claimed Maitland-Niles, 24, has “had enough” at the Gunners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the Daily Mail<\/a> (4 January), Arsenal are ready to part with Maitland-Niles following crunch talks with Mikel Arteta – with Roma already submitting a loan-to-buy offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The newspaper also claim<\/a> the Gunners are also exploring letting Sead Kolasinac and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang depart during the winter window.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whelan insisted it would be “good business” for Arsenal to let Maitland-Niles leave in order to avoid a “bitter” feeling within the club.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He also backed Nketiah to depart in order to pursue first-team football.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHe\u2019s been knocking on the door for around five years now,\u201d<\/em> he told Football Insider<\/strong>‘s Ewan Kingsbury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHe\u2019s been chopped and changed all over the park in recent years.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere are players at Arsenal that Arteta will have examined\nand decided that they are not going to be part of his plans long-term.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe only good business you can do in that situation, and\nfor the good of the player, is to free up the position, the wages, and possibly\na fee.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou don\u2019t want players at a football club who are\nbitter, so it\u2019s important to let them go when they feel the time is right to\ndevelop further.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMaitland-Niles has had enough at Arsenal, much like Nketiah. They\u2019ve tried to keep their spots, but now they need that first-team football week-in, week-out.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maitland-Niles’ contract expires at the end of this season, while Nketiah’s Arsenal deal is up in June.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arsenal sit fourth in the Premier League.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
