On January 5, Beijing time, according to the news of Sky Sports, Niles underwent a physical examination in Rome today, only to be officially announced.
The 24-year-old Niles is Arsenal's backfield, and this reinforcement is also approved by Roma manager Jose Mourinho. Roma and Arsenal have been talking for some time about Niles' transfer, and the original disagreement between the two sides was mainly a buyout clause. Roma wanted to bring in Niles on a rent-before-buy basis, but their offer was rejected by Arsenal, and eventually both sides accepted the offer to rent only without a buyout clause, and the deal was only to be announced.
Niles made 26 appearances in the Premier League last season, compared to just eight appearances in the last half of the season and none in the last eight league games. Niles is Mourinho's favourite type, he can play any position in the midfield, last season he played left-back, right-back, left-back and right-back and defensive midfielder, and also played left winger.
On the German Transfer Market, Niles is worth 12 million euros. Arsenal's reluctance to accept Rome's buyout clause was largely due to price issues. If Niles can play a major role at Roma, Arsenal can sell for a good price next summer.
Mourinho originally wanted to bring in their defensive midfielder Xhaka from Arsenal last summer, but it's also a good deal to bring in Niles now. Now Rome's lineup is very short of this golden oil.
