Arsenal utility Ainsley Maitland-Niles is interesting Atletico Madrid.
The Daily Mail says Atletico are considering a loan move for a right-back following Kieran Trippier's suspension - with Maitland-Niles emerging as a target.
The La Liga club will be without Trippier for 10 weeks - a total of 13 games - after he was slapped with a worldwide ban on Thursday for breaching FA betting regulations.
Atletico, who are top of the Spanish top-flight, are looking at reinforcements to offset the immediate loss of Trippier, with Arsenal star Maitland-Niles emerging as a strong candidate.
The 23-year-old was already on Atletico's radar prior to confirmation of Trippier's ban - and the Spanish club are ready to accelerate their interest.
