Patrick van Aanholt is good enough to play for Arsenal according to Roy Hodgson, who has spoken out on rumours linking the Crystal Palace star with a switch to Emirates Stadium.
The Gunners are reportedly lining up a last-minute swoop for Van Aanholt, with Mikel Arteta currently short on cover for Kieran Tierney at left-back.
The Palace defender has spent the last four years of his career at Selhurst Park, racking up 123 appearances for the club across all competitions, but his current contract is due to expire in June.
