When Arsenal star Rob Holding heads to Orlando this month, he’s packing something special — an autographed jersey for country music star Luke Combs.
The centerback was born and raised in Manchester, England. But from Jon Pardi to Morgan Wallen, Holding says his love of country music is universal.
So when Arsenal secured a spot in the Florida Cup — a friendly preseason tournament pitting top European and South American teams together at Camping World Stadium — he was quick to reach out to Combs on Instagram, offering to send him a shirt from the States.
Holding will lead Arsenal in the preseason tournament next week, facing off against Inter Milan in the opening round on July 25.
