Rob Holding tells Arsenal fans: Don't believe those YouTube clips!

Arsenal signing Rob Holding has assured fans he's not as fancy as his highlight reels on YouTube!

The 20-year-old - who joined from Bolton Wanderers last week - is known as a ball-playing centre half but says he always puts defending first.

'It's a massive club to have signed for'“[In terms of my qualities], from the videos that have gone on the internet, a couple of tricks maybe in the box, which I probably won't do straight away!" Holding told Arsenal Player.

“Then just bringing the ball out and playing it on the ground to feet is what I think I do best.

“But I know when to clear it if there's any danger. I'm not one to take risks."
