Arsenal star Ainsley Maitland-Niles’ mother claims she is homeless and sleeps in a 10 foot metal storage, a world away from her footballer son who earns £30,000-a-week lives in a £700,000 apartment.

Jule Niles, 38, said he refused to be a guarantor so she could rent a flat.
The mother-of-two, Daily Mail reports spent Christmas Day inside the container, cold and alone, before getting lunch at a nearby homeless centre.
The paper reports that she spends her days sitting in coffee shops or the local library to stay warm and pays £2 to shower at a local swimming pool in a bid to hide that she has nowhere to go.
It said Jule began living in the box three months ago after her relationship broke down with Ainsley, 20, who is rated at £15 million.
She said: ‘It’s a metal container with no windows or carpet. There is no toilet or washing facilities.
‘My son Ainsley could buy me a flat with two weeks or two month’s wages.
‘But the money’s gone to his head and I’m in this position.
‘My son plays for Arsenal and I am homeless and in a storage unit.
‘It’s not a home. I know what home feels like – to be able to shower, brush your teeth and sit in your room.
All that I miss – but most of all I miss my family.
‘It’s horrible. I just want to know what I’ve done wrong.’
Jule says she lives in fear that warehouse staff will realise she is sleeping in the container and turf her out on the streets.
