Rob Holding to undergo Crystal Palace medical shortly after fee of ~£4m agreed with Arsenal.
If all goes to plan, 27yo centre-back will sign 3yr contract. Joined #AFC in 2016 & had 1+1yr to go on deal @TheAthleticFC after @mcgrathmike #CPFC #DeadlineDay
5-3-2 will Never be the same again
I really hope Holding gets to be a regular starting 11 player. At 27 it seems like it's about time for that. Even if it's at a club that's not at the level of Arsenal, it will have to be more fulfilling to be a regular starter than hoping to make the bench.
Crystal Palace under Roy Hodgson seems like a good fit for him too.
I wonder if the fee is small because his Crystal Palace wage will be lower, so effectively Arsenal is subsidizing his wage until his contract would have run out.
