Arsenal are now in talks with defender Rob Holding about him leaving the club. This might happen in the next few days. Spain is said to be the most probable destination.
That’s according to Fabrizio Romano who shared more details about the 27-year-old’s future. Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta will be well aware. He needs to move several players on in the next few days.
Their squad is currently too big to be registered for the Premier League. Having players hanging around unable to play would be a disaster for Arsenal.
There are several senior players who haven’t yet featured in a matchday squad. This is in the league this season.
What Fabrizio Romano had to say about Rob Holding leaving Arsenal
Fabrizio Romano on Twitter said:
“Rob Holding, still expected to leave Arsenal in the final days of the transfer window. There are discussions now ongoing to make it happen. AFC Understand there are also Spanish clubs asking for conditions of Holding deal.”
The signing of Jurrien Timber has pushed him further down the pecking order. This is with Jakub Kiwior leapfrogging him towards the end of last season at Arsenal.
Holding has been a brilliant servant for the club. But isn’t of the required standard for a team. They are hoping to compete at the very highest level.
The 27-year-old is adequate cover in a pinch. And Arsenal have already suffered their first defensive injury.
