EPL 2017/18: 10 young players to look out for this season

#5 Rob Holding – Arsenal

Can Holding become a key player for Arsenal this season?

Rob Holding became a regular starter for Arsenal towards the end of last season and started in their FA Cup final victory over Chelsea. He impressed with a number of solid performances that showed great potential for the future.

Arsenal and Holding will be looking for him to continue his development over the course of the 2017/18 season. With the likes of Laurent Koscielny, Per Mertesacker and Shkodran Mustafi unlikely to feature in Arsenal’s early fixtures, Holding could be a key player in the Gunners’ defence over the first few months of the campaign.
