Mikel Arteta’s future does not include holding, and with only a year left on his contract, now is the ideal time to offload the centre-back.

The 27-year-old will depart Arsenal after seven years at the club and 162 appearances in the Gunners’ jersey. Holding was tipped for huge things when he signed from Bolton, but things didn’t go as planned for various reasons, and the defender is now looking for a fresh start at a new club.
