Arsenal are reportedly not considering selling defender Rob Holding this summer.

The former Bolton Wanderers man has been a regular fixture under Mikel Arteta at the Emirates, but the recent arrival of Ben White could limit his game time this season.

Newcastle United were thought to be eyeing a swoop for Holding last summer, but the centre-back instead elected to pen a new deal with Arsenal until 2024 earlier this year.

According to football.london, rumours regarding a potential move to Newcastle or Leicester City this month are false, and Holding is determined to prove his worth to Arteta.

The 25-year-old is a fitness doubt for the opening day of the season against Brentford, though, with White and Gabriel Magalhaes expected to form Arteta's first-choice centre-back pairing when fully fit.

Holding started 28 Premier League games for Arsenal last season and has made 117 appearances for the club in total since 2016. body check tags ::
