Arsenal confirm third summer signing as Rob Holding joins from Bolton

Holding is still only 20 but made 30 appearances for Bolton last season, performing as either a centre-back or full-back.

The defender was a member of the England Under-21 squad which won the Toulon Tournament earlier this summer along with new team-mate Calum Chambers.

"It's something you dream of as a kid," Holding said. "I can't wait to get started."

Arsenal signed Switzerland midfielder Granit Xhaka before the start of Euro 2016 and have also added Japanese striker Takuma Asano - although he is expected to be loaned out.

In a rather pointed note, Arsenal ended the Holding press release with the sentence: "We remain in the market, so stay close to Arsenal.com for any further transfer news."
