According to reports, Arsenal defender Rob Holding is in talks with Turkish side Besiktas over a possible loan deal and the player is now weighing up his options after Besiktas made their interest clear to his representatives.
Rob Holding has a year left to run on his current Arsenal deal, with an option to extend for a further year.
And under the terms of the loan agreement, Holding would likely sign a contract extension to ensure his value does not decrease, should he decide to move to Besiktas.

Rob Holding’s potential transfer seemingly indicates that Arsenal are confident of bringing in a centre-back this summer.
The main name on the list is Ajax and Netherlands stopper Jurrien Timber, whom Arsenal submitted a second offer for on Monday.
Timber’s arrival would see Gabriel, William Saliba and Jakub Kiwior competing for the two centre-back spots, with Ben White staying at right-back and Holding surplus to requirements – hence his potential loan move to Besiktas.
