Arsenal Transfer News: Rob Holding, a centre defender for Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal, may be traded or released this summer. Arsenal are “likely to try to offload” many players, including Rob Holding, according to The Times.
Arsenal may aim to unload players like Folarin Balogun, Nuno Tavares, and Emile Smith Rowe at the conclusion of the season, according to a report. We believe that Arsenal should aim to trade Rob Holding during the next summer transfer window.
The 27-year-old centre defender has performed enough when given playing time, but he is a little player at Arsenal. When everyone else in the middle of the defense is fit, Holding is left on the bench.

It has been clear in crucial games over the last several weeks that Holding is not on par with Gabriel and William Saliba. While Mikel Arteta, manager of Arsenal, praised Holding as “incredible” in January 2021, the defender has made little to no development since then.
We think Holding would be an excellent addition for a middle-of-the-pack Premier League club. It would be foolish for Arsenal to keep the 27-year-old Englishman on the bench during his prime years.
Holding has played 12 minutes in the Premier League for Arsenal this season, six as a starter and eight as a substitute. In those contests, the player has managed to score once. Holding also played in the UEFA Europa League, making six starts and one appearance off the bench.
