Crystal Palace have completed the signing of Arsenal defender Rob Holding.
The centre-back brings an end to his seven-year stay at the Emirates Stadium, swapping north London for south London on deadline day.
Holding has left Arsenal having made 162 appearances for them in all competitions. During his time with the Gunners, he helped them win the FA Cup twice and the Community Shield on three occasions.
He had been the subject of interest from clubs such as Fulham and Sevilla towards the end of the summer transfer window, but he has opted to sign for Crystal Palace.

Crystal Palace manager Roy Hodgson revealed earlier on Friday that a move for Holding was in the works, discussing the move in his pre-match press conference.
"Steve Parish [Palace chairman] and Doug Freedman [sporting director] are still working at this moment to see if we can bring in players to improve the team," he said ahead of Sunday's clash with Wolves.
"Rob Holding is player who has interested us for a while and Doug Freedman knows this very well. We are working on the basis perhaps that you can't have too many good-quality players in your squad.
"So if he was available, and it was a deal which was do-able for the club, then I can only say I would be very happy to work with him here."
