# Arsenal eye shock move for standout Football League star

Arsenal are one of several teams considering a move for Gillingham’s Tomas Holy, with Everton and West Ham also keen.

[According to a report from the Mirror, as cited on the Yorkshire Post](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/who-tomas-holy-meet-giant-13000991), a number of Premier League sides, including Crystal Palace are keeping tabs on the player.

Holy, who stands at an impressive 6ft 9in, enjoyed a successful campaign with Gillingham last season.

The 26-year-old has emerged as a surprise target for the Gunners, who could look to add an experienced third-choice goalkeeper to their ranks.

Matt Macey has recently left the club on loan, while David Ospina is also looking set to depart to go in search of regular first-team football.

Holy joined the League One outfit back in January 2017 from Sparta Prague and has gone on to become a hit with the fans there.

After originally only being signed as competition for the club’s number one, he would go on to make the spot his own.
