Ainsley Maitland-Niles has taken to social media to try to force a move away from Arsenal.
The versatile England midfielder has been a loan target for Everton in this transfer window, but Arsenal are understood to have rebuffed an approach from the Toffees.
Mikel Arteta has conducted a squad revamp in the summer, leaving Maitland-Niles on the periphery at the Emirates Stadium, but Arsenal have so far refused to allow the five-cap England star the chance to leave.
The 23-year-old has now taken matters into his own hands in a bid to push for an exit before Tuesday’s transfer deadline.
“All I wanna do is go where I’m wanted and where I’m gonna play, Arsenal,” Maitland-Niles posted on his Instagram stories.
Everton have started the new season in fine form under Rafael Benitez, claiming two wins and a draw.
Bargain £1.5million recruit Demarai Gray and England striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin found the net in Saturday’s 2-0 victory at Brighton.
Benitez has reinvigorated the Toffees and is understood to be keen on taking Maitland-Niles to Goodison Park.
