Arsenal closing in to loan out Rob Holding to Luton Town

Luton Town, newly promoted Premier League team, was able to get in touch with Arsenal to ask about Rob Holding’s availability. According to Fabrizio Romano, Rob Holding, a 27-year-old Englishman, is being pursued by a number of clubs, including Luton Town. The center-back is certain to leave this summer. The newcomers to the Premier League are evaluating their options to see if they can recruit him. Rob Holding has recently attracted a lot of interest from suitors in three different leagues. The 27-year-old Englishman won’t be in Mikel Arteta’s plans this year because the Gunners are trying to sell the center-back as soon as possible.

Arsenal will likely offload Rob Holding before Friday

The Gunners have a bloated team with very little time left in the window, despite having lately made a lot of outgoing transfers. Kieran Tierney has moved on to Real Sociedad. In addition Folarin Balogun’s transfer to AS Monaco is also certain. Nuno Tavares may also depart for Nottingham Forest, despite the fact that Holding, Albert Sambi Lokonga, and Nicolas Pepe are still under contract. However the Gunners will offload all outcast stars very soon. Arsenal anticipates the defender to leave before the deadline on Thursday. But it’s still unclear if they’ll be able  to strike a permanent deal.

Clubs from Turkey and Spain have lately inquired, with Sevilla contacting Arsenal for terms relating to the 27-year-old Englishman. Furthermore, RCD Mallorca has shown tremendous interest. Luton Town, another newcomer to the Premier League, has recently joined the race. They are not alone since Holding has also caught an eye of Crystal Palace and Fulham. However, the Premier division newcomers are anxious to sign someone with experience of this division. Thus Luton Town’s name has been circulating in the media for a few days.

The 27-year-old Englishman will probably be sold directly by Arsenal for an acceptable price. Holding has appeared 98 times for the Gunners in the Premier League. However he was left off the matchday squads for all three of their games this season. Holding will provide this Luton team with much-needed experience, even though they are not his only choice. There are Spanish clubs in the active in the race. But if Crystal Palace or another Premier League team enters the picture, Holding might chose them over everyone else.
