Arsenal Set to Land Prolific English Defender

Arsenal are close to securing a £2.5 million deal for Bolton centre-back, Rob Holding, according to The Sun.

The report claims that Arsene Wenger is a keen admirer of the 20-year-old, with the Gunners having already had one offer rejected.

Holding, who was voted as Bolton’s Player of the Season in April, has also attracted interest from Bournemouth.

The defender also featured twice for England Under-21s at this summer’s Toulon Tournament.
