Leeds United have been presented with the chance to acquire 27-year-old English international Ainsley Maitland-Niles from Lyon. According to journalist Graeme Bailey, intermediaries are attempting to move Maitland-Niles to various clubs, including Leeds, as he is eager to return to England. Leeds are searching for a player with his versatility, capable of occupying both full-back roles. The ex-Arsenal player, who has revitalized his career since departing the North London club, is on the market this summer. Leeds manager Daniel Farke is aiming to strengthen his squad with players possessing Premier League experience, and Maitland-Niles is considered an ideal candidate. With the possibility of competition from other clubs, Leeds must act quickly if they wish to secure his services. Maitland-Niles' contract with Lyon is valid until June 2027, and Transfermarkt has valued him at €12.00m; Everton and Galatasaray have also shown recent interest in the player.
