Arsenal centre-back Rob Holding is considering moving to Turkey on loan.
He is reported to be in talks about a move to Beşiktaş with increasing concerns about how much game time he will get next season.
Ajax defender Jurrien Timber is increasingly looking likely that he will be moving to the Emirates, whilst William Saliba has agreed a new contract to stay at the club.
Holding made just 14 appearances for the Gunners during the 2022 – 2023 season, his lowest for three campaigns.
Joining from Bolton Wanderers in 2016, Holding has made 162 appearances for Arsenal, and has won the FA Cup twice with them, although he has rarely been a first-team regular.
He came back into the team after Saliba was interested into the team last season, but, by the end of the campaign, Arsenal were playing with two left-sided centre-backs in the form of Gabriel and Jacob Kiwior.
