With the imminent arrival of Gabriel Magalhaes, Arsenal are set to let Rob Holding leave the club amid interest from newly-promoted Leeds United.
Leeds have shown an interest in the 24-year-old from after Brighton made it clear that their top target, Ben White, who enjoyed two successful years at Elland Road during a loan spell, is not for sale.
Holding has been unlucky with injuries since his arrival at the Emirates and due to the imminent signing of Gabriel Magalhaes from Lille, his future is in doubt in North London.
According to the Daily Mail, Arsenal have transfer-listed the English defender and want a fee of around £15 million to help fund further additions to the club.

Arsenal fans may be reluctant to see Holding leaving the club as he is a homegrown player who has put in some very good performances in big games, including in two FA cup finals.
However, it is clear that Arsenal need to raise funds if they are to bring in more players and if that means selling the Englishman, then that is fair enough given how far down the pecking order he is.
