A number of Arsenal fans have taken to Twitter to comment on the reports from the Daily Mail over the weekend suggesting Rob Holding is on Leeds United’s radar this summer.

Holding endured a tough campaign for the Gunners having initially been sidelined due to a long-term injury. But it certainly ended on a high.

The 24-year-old started the FA Cup final for Mikel Arteta’s side. But perhaps, that could prove to be his final appearance for the Gunners.

That is because the Daily Mail reported at the weekend that Leeds are interested in Holding.

The Whites are gearing up for their return to the Premier League. But they have a big problem to address at centre-back with Ben White’s loan ending.

Sky Sports also claimed over the weekend that Leeds have made two bids for White. However, both have been unsuccessful. And the Mail has suggested that Holding is also on their wishlist.

Interestingly, the reaction amongst the Arsenal fans has been fairly mixed. There are definitely some who believe that the time has come to sell the former Bolton man.

Holding – who cost £2 million, according to BBC Sport – has probably not reached the heights that many hoped he would. And at 24, he can hardly be deemed a youngster any longer.

‘Sadly, I could see this happening’

But there are other supporters who have suggested that they would be disappointed to see him go. They have also expressed a desire to see him loaned out rather than sold.

There is still hope that Holding can deliver on the promise that he has shown during his time at the Emirates. And some think that a loan working under Bielsa may work wonders.

There are a number of fans who think that a move to Elland Road could prove inspired for the defender.

Here is what some of the supporters make of the reports…
