Wenger should give these 3 Arsenal players a chance v Southampton

Rob Holding

England Under-21 international was brought to the Emirates from Bolton Wanderers in the summer, but he hasn’t featured much for the Gunners this season.

This may not surprise many but, if that’s the case, why wasn’t he loaned out somewhere to continue his development?

Nonetheless, he did start Arsenal’s first three Premier League games, and wasn’t entirely convincing, and has since then been restricted to two League Cup games against Nottingham Forest and Reading.

Wenger needs to know that, if there’s an injury or suspension to Laurent Koscielny and/or Shkodran Mustafi, Holding is ready to deputise, and more minutes on the pitch against good opposition will give him a good idea about the 21-year-old.
