The Youngster in 2014 became the second youngest Arsenal player at 17 years, 102 days to feature in a Champions League game when he came off the bench in a game against Galatasaray and went on to make his Premier League debut against Newcastle just four days later.

His rise was aided by a loan switch to Ipswich Town in the 2015/2016 season where he made 30 appearances, scoring twice. He also won the club's Player of the Month in his first month there.

In the just concluded season, he made 29 appearances for Arsenal, featuring at wing back, full back and in midfield.

He would be donning the Jersey number 15 formerly worn by Alex Oxlade Chamberlain next season.

Maitland Niles has captained the England U20 side and was pivotal when the team won their first U20 World Cup title in June 2017.

Congratulations Ainsley! COYG 💪
