The mother of one of Arsenal's most promising stars coming through the ranks at the moment, 17-year-old winger Ainsley Maitland-Niles has been banned from entering the club's training complex, following reports she attacked a member of staff as well as another man in an incident recently.
Police officers were called to Arsenal's training ground and arrested Maitland-Niles' mother, Jule Niles, when a member of the ground staff and another man accused her of assault. She was also reported to have struck Arséne Wenger's chief negotiator, Dick Law, after a meeting regarding her son.
However, she was released without charge by the police as the victims of her assault did not want to take the matter further, but Arsenal told her she could no longer enter the club's London Colney training base in Hertfordshire. According to reports, despite her ban, she was pictured at their U-21 fixture last Friday against Aston Villa, with witnesses saying she became increasingly aggressive, was shouting from the touchline and threatened to storm onto the pitch, dragging her son with her out of the game.
Stewards intervened and police were called yet again, this time giving Jule a formal warning. A spokesperson for Hertfordshire police said: "Police were called at 4.11pm on March 20 to the location to reports two people had allegedly been assaulted by a woman. They suffered superficial injuries. Officers attended and a 36-year-old woman from Watford was arrested on suspicion of assault. She has since been released with no further action to be taken against her.
Police were called to the location on Friday, April 24 at 2.40pm to reports a woman was refusing to leave the premises. Officers attended and the woman was issued with a warning."
The young English forward became the second youngest player to represent Arsenal in an official UEFA Champions League fixture, against Turkish side Galatasaray towards the end of 2014 in a 4-1 victory, and made his Premier League debut earlier on in the season. He has represented his country at U-17 and U-18 level, and will be hoping that his mother's controversy does not impact on his game.
