Arsenal have reportedly identified Crystal Palace defender Tyrick Mitchell as a potential transfer target.
With Sead Kolasinac having been allowed to move to Schalke 04, Mikel Arteta has suggested that he may look to bring in a new left-back.
Kieran Tierney is the established first choice at the Emirates Stadium, resulting in Arsenal's preference being a low-price addition who can provide backup to the Scotland international.
According to the Evening Standard, the Gunners are one of a number of clubs who are contemplating an approach for Mitchell.
The 21-year-old has been provided with 15 appearances in the Palace first team, 11 of which have come during the 2020-21 campaign.
There have been contrasting reports as to whether Mitchell's contract is due to expire at the end of the season, although Palace are likely to offer the youngster fresh terms if he is in a position to leave later in 2021.
