Many West Ham United fans are eager for the club to sign Ainsley Maitland-Niles after it was revealed that Arsenal are willing to listen to offers for the England international.
The Hammers enjoyed a successful campaign last time out as they finished sixth in the Premier League, which means they will be competing in the Europa League next term. However, they are yet to make a new signing during this transfer window, and they will surely not be able to deal with four competitions without strengthening their squad.
Maitland-Niles could well be a good target for the Hammers, who have reportedly been interested in him in recent months. According to Sky Sports, the Gunners are listening to offers for the £14.4m-valued 23-year-old (Transfermarkt), who spent the second half of 2020/21 on loan at West Bromwich Albion.
On Twitter, @WestHam_Central asked their followers whether they would like West Ham to sign the versatile ace, and the response was generally affirmative. The supporters took to the social media platform to share their thoughts.
