Maitland-Niles escaped unscathed when his G-class Mercedes was overturned
Maitland-Niles was recently on loan at West Brom, where he made 12 appearances.
He was not selected for Gareth Southgate’s Euro 2020 team, despite having five caps for England.
Earlier this month, Maitland-Niles urgedArsenal to give him ‘clarity’ over his future, admitting it may be time to ‘kiss goodbye’ to the team.
After spending the second half of least season on loan to West Brom, he is set to return to Arsenal this summer, but has admitted his future with the team is unclear.
‘If I was to get a phone call from someone at Arsenal and they said they’d like a meeting tomorrow, then it would be easier that way,’ Maitland-Niles told the Telegraph. +7
