Rob Holding has been a reliable backup for Arsenal this season.
The 26-year-old defender has often played as a replacement for either Ben White or Gabriel Magalhaes this season.
He has been one of the most reliable defenders in the current squad, but he has to settle for the third choice centre-back at Arsenal.
According to reports, Holding seeks more playing time but club legend Paul Merson wants him to stay put at the Emirates.
Merson on Daily Star Sports:“Holding came in and did a great job for them against West Ham, and I think he’s a reliable defender.
“I remember when he was close to joining Newcastle but he’s proved Arteta right for blocking that move, and doesn’t seem like the type to moan when he’s not starting every week.”
Adding: “I can’t see him leaving for more minutes. If Arsenal qualify for the Champions League, why would you? It’s a great club. A Rolls Royce. And Arsenal have every chance of finishing in the top four. I expect them to beat Leeds this weekend.”
