Newcastle close To Signing Arsenal Defender Rob Holding On Season-Long Loan

Newcastle are leading the race to sign Arsenal defender Rob Holding on loan for the season.

The 24-year-old had a number of clubs eyeing his services for the year, but the Magpies look to have won out.

Holding is yet to agree personal terms with the north east outfit and a deal with the Gunners still needs to be thrashed out.

Arsenal are currently short of defensive options meaning the former Bolton man is likely to be included in their Community Shield squad.

Mikel Arteta is currently without David Luiz and Sokratis, who are quarantining, and Shkodran Mustafi, Pablo Mari and Calum Chambers who are all absent with injury.

It means Holding is likely to play for the Gunners again before they sanction a loan move elsewhere, reports the Athletic.

Injuries have blighted his career at the Emirates having made the move four years ago.

Holding has been able to make just 18 Premier League appearances in the last two seasons.

Newcastle are also interested in a man who once donned Arsenal colours in Aaron Ramsey.

The Welshman left north London last summer on a free transfer and joined Italian giants Juventus, but has not had the year he would've envisaged.

Italian journalist Nicolo Schira understands that the 29-year-old is of interest to Steve Bruce but has rejected the chance to return to the Premier League.

But Ramsey's mammoth wages make a move anywhere particularly complicated.

Sky Sports Italy's Gianluca Di Marzio said: "I think Aaron Ramsey will stay.

"He is on a lot of money, with a good contract, so it would be difficult to find another solution.

"Also I think he is not the one Juventus want to sell."

UNSATISFIED Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang Sarcastically Responds To 87-Rated FIFA 21 Card As Arsenal Talisman Receives Same Rating As Last Year

It’s safe to say Pierre-Emerick Aubemayang isn’t very happy about his FIFA 21 rating. The Gunners’ talisman has been handed an 87 rating for the new edition of the game – the same rating he was in FIFA 19. And the Gabon international has sarcastically responded to his card with a laughing face emoji. Aubameyang had another superb season for the Gunners, hitting 22 Premier League goals for Mikel Arteta’s side – the same he managed last year. However, the 31-year-old played a pivotal role in Arsenal’s FA Cup triumph, netting a brace against Chelsea to seal a first trophy in management for Arteta. Meanwhile, it is understood Aubameyang will ‘imminently’ sign a new three-year contract at the Emirates. It is understood he will become the club’s highest earner on his new deal, surpassing Mesut Ozil’s reported £350,000-a-week wages. The report adds Arteta has been integral in talks to keep the 31-year-old striker in north London. Former Arsenal head of football Raul Sanllehi is believed to ha...

'I Cried A Lot' - Arsenal Star Martinelli Opens Up On Knee Injury That 'Broke' Him

The 19-year-old attacker has said that manager Mikel Arteta was a great support as he was returning to fitness. Arsenal attacker Gabriel Martinelli has admitted that the horror knee injury he suffered in June caused him a huge amount of pain both physically and emotionally. The young wide player sustained the issue during training, and though it did not feel like anything at first, it required surgery. After missing several months with the injury, Martinelli is now only finding his way back into competitive football. I was about to receive the ball and felt a little pain on my knee,” he told the Daily Mail. "Not enough for me to stop practising, but, while we were on the finishing session, I told them that I was in pain. They told me to rest and, if I felt the pain the next day, to let them know. “When I woke up, I felt it but I was able to walk. I thought it was nothing at first, but it was a pain I'd never felt before. I went to the club for the examinations and they said i...
