Rob Holding has been linked with a move away from Arsenal to Premier League rivals Burnley, who have reportedly already had one bid turned down for the young centre back, according to The Bolton News.
Sean Dyche wants to bring a centre back into Turf Moor before the transfer window deadline shuts at 11:00 tonight. Holding is reportedly his choice, but it depends on the situation of Jonny Evans and if he would end up in north London.
It is believed that talks of a loan move for Holding have taken place between the two clubs, but if Evans were to make reported £20m move, then talks of a permanent deal would be had.
Holding’s former club, and Burnley’s Lancashire rivals, Bolton Wanderers, will be keen on this move to happen due to the sell-on clause which was included in Holding’s contract when he left Bolton for the Emirates in 2016.
Wanderers have already made money from Holding going to Arsenal, due to his number of league appearances, making his debut in the Champions League and being picked for England U21’s.
Holding has only started five league games this season, however, the last of which was the incredibly frustrating 2-1 loss on the south coast to AFC Bournemouth.
