Speaking on Arsenal’s YouTube channel, Kieran Tierney has had plenty of good things to say about Rob Holding.

The defender was asked to name the most wholesome member of the Arsenal squad, and the Scot was quick to say that Holding is one of the nicest people he knows.

Indeed, the left-back says that even when he’s having issues of his own, Holding tries to help anyone he can at every given opportunity.

What’s been said?

Tierney spoke about how kind Holding is.

“Who is the most wholesome member of the squad?” Tierney was asked.

“That’s an easy one, it’s you Rob. Seriously, the best guy on the team, helps everyone when they’re down and it speaks volumes because he can go through tough times himself and he still wants to help everybody else. So it’s Rob,” Tierney said.

Great teammate

Holding may not be one of Arsenal’s most important players on the pitch, but it sounds as though he’s a real asset behind the scenes.

The Englishman sounds like a great teammate, and you need a player like him in your dressing room.

Football is as much a mental game as it is a physical one, and you need all of your players to be happy if you’re going to succeed, and Holding seems to have a strong influence on that side of things.
