Holding is not in Mikel Arteta’s plans anymore and with only a year left on his contract, now is the perfect time to sell the centre-back.

The 27-year-old will leave Arsenal after seven years at the London club and having worn the Gunners’ shirt a total of 162 times. Holding was tipped for big things when he joined from Bolton but it didn’t go to plan due to one reason or another, and now the defender is looking for a fresh start at a new club.
