Arsenal are reportedly considering a surprise late January move for Crystal Palace left-back Patrick van Aanholt.
Regular left-back Kieran Tierney has been absent from Arsenal's recent games with injury and Mikel Arteta wants another man in to provide competition and cover.
The Dutchman, 30, has emerged as a shock target following the emergence of Tyrick Mitchell at Palace and the Gunners boss could make a move before the winter window closes on Monday night, report the Mirror.
The report indicates Arsenal were tracking Mitchell earlier in the window but Palace see the 21-year-old as their long-term option in the position.
