Arsenal make successful £2m bid for Bolton defender Holding

Arsenal are on the verge of signing Rob Holding from Bolton Wanderers.

The Gunners have had a £2million bid accepted by the League One club for the 20-year-old defender who underwent a medical on Monday.

The Daily Mailreports that Holding will now agree personal terms with Arsenal before completing his transfer to the Emirates Stadium.

Holding has made just 30 first-team appearances for the Trotters but Arsene Wenger sees something in the England U21 international and is set to make him his third signing of the summer following Granit Xhaka and Takuma Asano.
