Arsenal bid £30m for Ajax defender Jurrien Timber

Posted : 20 June 2023
Arsenal has reportedly made an initial bid of £30m for Ajax defender Jurrien Timber, who has already agreed to personal terms with the club.
 
The Dutch international showcased his abilities last season in the Eredivisie, excelling in defense and contributing two goals and assists in 34 league appearances.
 
Timber's versatility, being able to play as a right-back as well, has attracted interest from several clubs, including Manchester United and Liverpool.
 
Although Arsenal's initial bid falls short of Ajax's £50m valuation, there is optimism that a mutually acceptable figure can be reached, considering that personal terms have already been agreed upon with the player. Timber's future at Ajax has been uncertain after he revealed that he hasn't been in contract discussions with the club.
 
Last summer, Timber was heavily linked with a move to Manchester United, as his former coach Erik ten Hag desired a reunion. Liverpool also entered the race for his signature, but he chose to stay at Ajax to secure a place in the World Cup squad following advice from Louis van Gaal regarding playing time.
 
Arsenal aims to swiftly complete the deal to bolster their defensive options, as they experienced difficulties due to injuries to William Saliba and Takehiro Tomiyasu towards the end of last season.

With ambitions to compete for silverware in multiple competitions, including the Champions League, manager Mikel Arteta is keen to strengthen the squad depth ahead of the upcoming season.
