Holding is not expected to instantly command a spot in Arsene Wenger’s starting XI but the centre-back, who featured for England at this summer’s Toulon Tournament, has been handed Ramsey’s No.16, with the midfielder taking up No.8 following Mikel Arteta’s exit.
The defender was a surprise signing by Wenger having impressed for Bolton last season. The club were relegated from the Championship last season but Holding picked up the team’s Player of the Year award.
