Rob Holding admits his life has been transformed since joining Arsenal.

The former Bolton Wanderers defender has already made his Premier League debut.

"I'm living on my own now for the first time, learning how to cook, giving it a go and not just getting a takeaway every day," he said.

After the draw at Leicester, Arsene Wenger joked: "Nobody is speaking about the performance of Rob Holding today. You should be happy; he is English, he is 20 years old, but I'm sorry he didn't cost £55m, so it cannot be good."

Holding admits he took the comments as a big compliment, saying: "Even if it was a bit of sarcasm to the media, I enjoyed it.

"[Wenger] has helped me settle in really easily, he's spoken to me on a one-to-one basis, he talks you through games and reviews your games."
