Arsenal are gradually building a future team that could challenge for titles for many years. They have intentionally recruited young talents that could help them achieve the project Arteta has started. According to journalist David Ornstein, Arsenal has now reached an agreement to sign Jurrien Timber.
Ornstein reported the latest on Timber’s move to Arsenal. He said: “Arsenal have now reached a full agreement with Ajax to sign Jurrien Timber. Negotiations were completed on a fee of €40 million plus €5 million in largely realistic bonuses. A 22-year-old defender was granted permission to undergo a medical and finalize personal terms”.
This possible deal has been in the works for a while now, but the Gunners will be happy to see that they finally got their target
Timber has been at Ajax, but now the Dutchman is set to join Arsenal this summer. This is as they continue to bolster their squad for next season. This is huge news for Arsenal. Timber is an outstanding signing, and he will help Arsenal battle for the title next season.
The center-back is only 22 years old, but he has shown admirable qualities at Ajax and helped the club win the Eredivisie title twice. The club is reportedly signing Declan Rice, and it now looks like they are ready to move on and sign Timber too. He is also very versatile, as he can play at center-back. Timber is already a solid Dutch international, and his potential is clear to see.
The ' outstanding ' player signing for the club will excite Arsenal fans. As well as the Premier League, the club also has the Champions League to deal with. Therefore, it is very encouraging to see that the club wants to add more quality to the squad. Not everyonecan feature in every match, so depth is key.
Last season, the Gunners struggled in the Premier League after William Saliba got injured. Therefore, bringing in more top-quality defenders like Timber is an excellent idea.
