Newcastle United, Crystal Palace, Nottingham Forest, and Fulham have made checks on 28-year-old English right-back Ainsley Maitland-Niles. His current club is Lyon, and sources indicate the Ligue 1 club would consider suitable offers because he has only 12 months remaining on his contract. According to sources, no formal bids have been submitted, and Maitland-Niles is reportedly receptive to different possibilities for his future.
