It has been reported that Leeds – who will play in the Premier League next season after winning automatic promotion from the Championship – have considered the 24-year-old central defender.
Head coach Marcelo Bielsa reportedly wants to sign Ben White back from Brighton and Hove Albion, but it will be difficult, and Holding has emerged a potential target.
The report in The Daily Mail has also claimed that Leeds have made an enquiry regarding signing midfielder Conor Gallagher on loan from Chelsea.
Good signing for Leeds United?
Described as “a proper talent” by former Arsenal star Ray Parlour in Football.London in June 2020, Holding is a good central defender who would get better under the coaching of Bielsa.
Signed by Arsenal for £2 million from Bolton Wanderers in the summer of 2016, as reported by BBC Sport, the Englishman is unlikely to cost the Whites a lot in transfer fee.
Given Holding’s experience of playing for a big club such as Arsenal in the Premier League, he would not be fazed by the prospect of turning out for Leeds at Elland Road.
