Kevin Campbell says Arsenal will snub chance to sign Patrick van Aanholt

Former Arsenal striker Kevin Campbell believes the Gunners will snub the option to sign Crystal Palace defender Patrick van Aanholt this summer.

The north London club were eyeing a back-up option for left-back Kieran Tierney in January after deciding to loan out Sead Kolasinac to Schalke 04.

Van Aanholt was mentioned as a potential target before the deadline, but nothing materialised beyond the transfer speculation.

The Dutchman’s current deal expires at the end of June and, as things stand, he will be available on a free transfer in a few months.

It was recently suggested that Leeds United could rival the Gunners for the 30-year-old, but Campbell feels his former side may look for a younger option.
