Turkish giants Besiktas are willing to sign Rob Holding from Arsenal this summer.

The centre half is likely to fall down the pecking order at the Emirates Stadium club this coming season.

Holding struggled late last season, with his emergence in the team for the injured William Saliba costing them a title challenge.

Per The Athletic, Besiktas are ready to pay a fee in the region of 2.1 million for the versatile defender.

Given Arsenal are close to signing Jurrien Timber from Ajax, a move away for Holding appears likely.

The Gunners can invest the money in other areas of the squad, while Holding will get a chance to play regularly in Turkey.
