FORMER Arsenal star Ainsley Maitland-Niles has completed a free transfer to Lyon.
The versatile midfielder left Arsenal after his contract expired at the end of June.
He was linked with moves to Everton, West Ham, Sheffield United and Crystal Palace.
But he decided he wanted a fresh start and has followed in the footsteps of other Arsenal stars by moving to Ligue Un, including Folarin Balogun.
Maitland-Niles has penned a four year deal with Lyon where he will link back up with Alexandre Lacazette.
