The midfielder spent the latter half of last season on loan at Roma and is in the final year of his contract with Arsenal.
He is keen to seal his exit from the Emirates before the window slams shut an hour before midnight on Thursday.
Several Premier League sides have been keeping tabs on Maitland-Niles going into the final 72 hours of the ongoing transfer window.
And it has been claimed that Newcastle are also interested in getting their hands on the player this summer.
Newcastle are keen to add more options to Eddie Howe’s squad following the capture of club-record signing Alexander Isak.
Howe is a fan of players who can play in multiple positions and Maitland-Niles can do a job both in midfield and at right-back.
The Magpies are now pondering over making a move for the 25-year-old before the end of the window.
Arsenal are open to a sale and are waiting for concrete offers to land on their table in the coming hours.
