'A club of Timber and Saliba' — How Arsenal's new-look defence will operate
Arsenal have completed the signing of Jurrien Timber but how does he fit into the Gunners' defence along with William Saliba and the rest of last season’s main cast?
The Turkish team made a €2.5million offer for Arsenal defender Rob Holding but the Gunners consider the offer to be very low.
According to David Ornstein on Twitter via the Athletic, “Besiktas have submitted an offer to sign Rob Holding from Arsenal.
“Proposal for centre-back worth €2.5m. Far below what #AFC might consider selling & will be rejected. 27yo has 1yr left on contract + club option to extend by 12 months.”
Holding struggles at Arsenal
The centre-back, who is now 27 years old, moved to Arsenal from Bolton in 2016 and has since won two FA Cups.
Last season, Holding made 14 Premier League appearances for Arsenal after replacing an injured William Saliba in March.
