Is there a better fourth choice centre-back in the Premier League than Rob Holding? Short answer, yes - but not many.
In fact, beyond the long-serving Arsenal man, I can think of two clear choices. Manchester City’s John Stones, who is behind Ruben Dias, Aymeric Laporte and Nathan Ake, and Liverpool’s Joe Gomez who deputises for Virgil van Dijk, Joel Matip and Ibrahima Konate.
Behind Gabriel Magalhaes, William Saliba and Ben White in the Arsenal team, Holding has given the Gunners some solid performances. His famous showings in two FA Cup finals alone are enough to earn the respect of most.
