Frank Lampard is claimed to want to add former Arsenal defender Rob Holding to his Coventry City squad.
The 29-year-old centre-back was sold to Crystal Palace for £4million in 2023 but is currently out of favour at Selhurst Park after falling out with manager Oliver Glasner.
A right-sided defender, who can also play at right-back, played almost a hundred Premier League games for the Gunners over seven years but his move to the Eagles has gone sour and he’s reported to be training with the club’s youth team while also having been left out of the club’s official team photo in the summer.
The Sun claims: “Frank Lampard is trying to persuade the star to drop down to the Championship on loan. Despite being a £4million arrival, the defender has never featured in the Premier League for the club.”
The report claims Palace would let the former Bolton Wanderers prospect go out on a temporary move after falling out with his Austrian coach Glasner.
Coventry’s defence is an area of concern after conceding 37 league goals so far his season, while the team also lacks experience, which Holding would clearly bring to the side – a quality the team have not had at centre-half since Kyle McFadzean left for Blackburn Rovers last January.
