Arsenal are eyeing departing Crystal Palace fullback Patrick van Aanholt.

Brighton's England centre-back Ben White is regarded as the Gunners' transfer priority in defence.

But Football.london's Chris Wheatley suggests Holland star Van Aanholt is on the agenda as boss Mikel Arteta looks for cover out wide.

Arsenal asked about the 30-year-old in January and he is now a free agent.

It's claimed the Gunners are ideally seeking a younger alternative.

But Van Aanholt would offer a cheap alternative and great experience in English football.
