Arsenal sign defender Rob Holding from Bolton on long-term contract

Arsenal have completed the signing of defender Rob Holding on a long-term contract from third tier Bolton Wanderers, the Premier League club said on Friday.

The 20-year-old made 30 appearances last season as Bolton were relegated from the championship.

"It's something you dream of as a kid -- I can't wait to get started," Holding told the Arsenal website (www.arsenal.com).

British media reported that Arsenal paid two million pounds ($2.62 million) for Holding, who can play as a central defender or full back,

He is manager Arsene Wenger's third signing of the close season, following midfielder Granit Xhaka and striker Takuma Asano to the Emirates Stadium.
