Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta says Rob Holding will be staying this season.
The centre-back has been heavily linked with a loan move away from Emirates Stadium this summer, with Newcastle United keen to snap him up.
Holding, however, started Arsenal's opening 3-0 win over Fulham and excelled as they kept a clean sheet.
The 24-year-old looked assured alongside debutant Gabriel and Arteta has declared he is going nowhere.
“I said to him, change your mind because you are not going anywhere," he told BT Sport.
“Rob is another one that stands for every value that we want at the football club. He had a really difficult time but he trained and pursued his dream to play for this football club.
“Now why would I have to let him go? You are already playing so what else do you want?"
