Arsenal have already reinforced their squad this summer by luring a versatile midfielder in the form of Granit Xhaka from German side Borussia Monchengladbach.
However, the Gunners need more reinforcements to become serious title contenders next season. If reports are anything to go by then Arsenal are close to signing Bolton Wanderers rising starlet Rob Holding.
As per reports, deal to sign the 20-year-old defender is close after Arsenal made an improved bid. The North Londoners are set to secure his services at the expense of Everton, Bournemouth and rivals Tottenham who are also keen on signing the England international (Football Insider).
German international and veteran defender Per Mertesacker is linked with a move away (Inside Futbol) from Arsenal this summer and Rob Holding may as well be his replacement at the Emirates.
Former Bolton boss Neil Lennon hailed the youngster as a “superstar” who has got real quality (The Bolton News). Neil further added:
“Every game he seems to be growing in maturity and improving in performance.”
Holding is a versatile defender who can effectively play as a full back as well. Last season, he featured in 30 games for Bolton, scored a goal and also provided an assist.
In your opinion, should Arsenal sign Rob Holding?

Yes we should sign Rob Holding very good centre half young as well so will have many years with the club and could also be a good captain in the future but still believe our priority should be a top striker by that I mean world class ie: Suares, Benzema ect
