Arsenal
have banned the mother of 17-year-old winger Ainsley Maitland-Niles
after she apparently assaulted chief negotiator, Dick Law, and
threatened to drag her son off the pitch at their training base.
Jule
Niles was arrested on suspicion of assaulting two people at the
Barclays Premier League club's training ground in March, before being
released without charge.
Telegraph Sport report
a member of Arsene Wenger's ground staff and another man accused her of
striking them, while Law was apparently also hit during the
altercation.
No further action was taken by police, but Arsenal
told her not to return. Yet despite the ban, Niles arrived at the London
Colney base to watch her son face Aston Villa in an Under 21 fixture
last Friday.
It has been claimed Niles then threatened to run on
to the pitch and drag her son away. Police were called again, and she
received a warning.
Injury stopped Maitland-Niles being able to
play in the Under 21 game that followed the latest incident, but this
will come as an unwelcome distraction for a teenager who already has
first-team experience under his belt.
Maitland-Niles made his
professional debut for Arsenal at the age of 17 years and 102 days in
the Champions League in December, becoming the second-youngest player to
represent the club in the history of the competition.
The England Under 18 international then made his Premier League debut just four days later against Newcastle United.
