Arsenal defender William Saliba is all set to miss the match against Leeds United. Hence, the Gunners will now have the trust the ability of Rob Holding.
Former legend manager Arsene Wenger has also praised his abilities. Hence, his contributions will certainly matter in the tittle race this season.
ARSENAL WILL HAVE TO MANAGE THE WILLIAM SALIBA INJURY
According to reports, Arsenal will miss the game against Leeds United. The French defender has also not recovered from his back injury. Hence, Gabriel Magalhaes is again set to have Rob Holding as his center-back partner. Jakub Kiwior is also an option. However, he is a young player and does not have an experience of playing much in the Premier League.
Hence, Arsenal need someone like Rob Holding. Rob Holding also has the opportunity of a small window. This is because he wants to leave for regular game time in the next summer transfer window. Hence, this is also his chance to show his ability to the interested sides. However, the comments of past from legend manager Arsene Wenger clearly show that Rob Holding is capable of big things.
ARSENE WENGER CLEARLY BELIEVED IN THE ABILITIES OF ROB HOLDING
Former Arsenal legendary manager Arsene Wenger clearly believed in the abilities of Rob Holding. He also praised him after he helped the Gunners defeat in-form Leicester City with Jamie Vardy and Riyad Mahrez. However, at that time he was only 20 years. Hence, Arsene Wenger said that his brilliant performance went under the radar.
The legendary Arsenal manager further speaking on Rob Holding said, “Unfortunately, no-one speaks about the performances of Rob Holding,”. “You should be happy, he is English and 20 years old. I am sorry he didn’t cost £55million, so he can’t be good. We don’t speak about the performances anymore and I think that is not right.”
However, since then, he has failed to do well under Unai Emery and Mikel Arteta. Although, Arsenal fans still see him one of the best back-up options to have in the squad. Mikel Arteta has also praised his ambitions and commitment to the team this season.
