Burnley want loan move for Arsenal defender Holding

The transfer situation regarding the West Bromwich Albion defender took another twist on Saturday as it was revealed that Evans picked up a suspected hamstring injury in his team's FA Cup victory over Liverpool at Anfield.

However, the Burnley manager will be praying that the deal with Arsenal for the Northern Ireland international can still go through as he reportedly has his eye on one of the London club's young defenders. 

Dyche needs to bolster his back-line after a run of eight matches without a win, despite an impressive start to the season, and believes 22-year-old Holding would be the perfect fit with the young England star needing regular first-team football. 

The 6ft 2in centre-back has only featured in the Premier League six times this season under Wenger after spells at League Two side Bury and Championship club Bolton Wanderers.
