Ainsley Maitland-Niles has hit out at Arsenal after the club blocked his loan move to Everton.

The 24-year-old, who spent the second half of last season on loan, has made just one appearance as a substitute in the Premier League this season as he was brought on in the final stages of Arsenal’s 5-0 defeat to Manchester City on Saturday.
