# West Ham: Fans want Irons to sign Ainsley Maitland-Niles

**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](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/west-ham-united/transfers/verein/379) 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](https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/12352429/maitland-niles-arsenal-tottenham-transfer-crystal-palace/) in him in recent months. According to [Sky Sports](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11670/12349144/arsenal-to-make-third-bid-for-ben-white-as-deals-for-nuno-tavares-and-albert-lokonga-edge-closer), the Gunners are listening to offers for the £14.4m-valued 23-year-old ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/ainsley-maitland-niles/marktwertverlauf/spieler/285845)), who spent the second half of 2020/21 on loan at West Bromwich Albion.
