Arsenal fans claim the title Ainsley Maitland-Niles

Ainsley Maitland-Niles, a young Arsenal, has grown in recent days.

The 21-year-old played Sunday's 2-0 victory over Manchester United before scoring his first goal in Europe in a 3-0 win against Rennes on Thursday night.

The former defensive midfielder, now on the right wing, found the back of the net for the first time at Emirates and was also involved in the first game of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

This has led the Gunners fans to praise Maitland-Niles and qualify him as the best right-back in the Premier League.

They risked the anger of Liverpool supporters by declaring that their club was a better player than the English international Trent Alexander-Arnold, who is an extremely popular figure at Anfield.

He has been nominated by many fans on social networks as the best English right back, the one directly comparing the duo saying that "Alexander-Arnold" has nothing on AMN except the ability to past".

Another supporter even went so far as to say that Maitland-Niles is "truly the best 21-year-old in the world" after his latest eye-catching show.

He has also been singled out as a "special" talent and as "one of the best graduates of the academy" to have left the club over the last decade.

His career in the first Arsenal team was compared to that of Alexander Arnold in Liverpool by one of the supporters moving from the midfield to a right-back role.

He has impressed Unai Emery's players in recent months by helping them to take pole position in the race for fourth place in the Premier League and to reserve their place in the quarter-finals of the Europa League.
