Arsene Wenger: This player has got a great future ahead of him

Arsene Wenger has praised summer signing, Rob Holding following his impressive performances against Middlesbrough and Manchester City. 

The young centre-back has played so well in those two games, that many now believe he should start even when Shkodran Mustafi returns from injury. Wenger has been impressed with Holding since he arrived from Bolton Wanderers, and Wenger believes he has all the tools to become a top-class defender. 

“When we were in the situation where we decided to play him, you must have confidence in him. I believe he has a great future because he’s very intelligent and has a very objective analysis of his own performance.”

“The biggest part in the improvement of a player is to be capable of analysing his performance in a very objective way, [be] a little bit harsh, and I think he has that in him.”

“He’s very bright about what’s happening and he analyses very well and understands very well. He reads the game very well.”
