Rob Holding has signed a new three-year contract at Arsenal with the option for a further year following an impressive 12 months.
The centre-back has become a regular under Mikel Arteta this season and played 18 times in all competitions - the same total he managed throughout the whole of the 2019-20 campaign.
Technical director Edu told the club's official website: 'He is 25-years-old so is still coming into the peak of his career and we are delighted that he'll be with us during these important years.'
Arteta added: 'Since I started as manager, I have been hugely impressed with Rob's contribution to the club and the dressing room, on and off the pitch.
'We are all very happy that Rob has signed a new contract, he is very popular with all the players and staff and we're looking forward to watching him continue to grow with us in the coming years.'

With all these new Brexit regulations, losing English players would be a big gamble for PL clubs. I think Arsenal made the right decision with this one.

Soon they'll be saying he stayed for the money π€£π€£π€£
We have a history with mercenaries but I don't see it happening with Holding. 1 he is still in his peak and 2 he is usually average anyways.
