Arsenal will have to pay around €35 million inorder to get the signature of Jurrien Timber. That’s despite Ben White having a fantastic season at right-back. That is for Mikel Arteta’s side last season. He looks set to face more competition for his place in the team next season too.
Arsenal are closing in on signing Jurrien Timber from Ajax. Who is expected to play on the right-hand side of defence.
A €35 million bargain for Arsenal
He can also play at centre-back or in midfield but is likely to mirror Zinchenko on the left. Romano has shared what he’s heard about the availability of Arsenal target Jeremie Frimpong this summer.
Fabrizio Romano further went on to say:-
“He has new agents now, or better to say that his original agents parted with new agents, so this is what was going on.
“From what I’m hearing, this is an expensive player this summer because I’m told that Bayer Leverkusen could start negotiations only from £35m.
“There was a big opportunity in January as they were happy with £20m-£25m, now it’s around £35m, so it’s way more expensive.
“I think this is difficult but [Jeremie] Frimpong is prepared to make his move and the priority of Frimpong is to go to the Premier League.
“So, let’s see if some clubs will put the money on the table, but at the moment not, but let’s see.”
Jurrien Timber to Arsenal seems to be a done deal according to numerous sources. Arsenal are going along nicely in this transfer window. And are however, close to announcing more signings to follow Kai Havertz into the club.
The Gunners’ splash on Havertz has caught quite a few by surprise. But their spending isn’t stopping there. With a £100m+ deal for Declan Rice set to be confirmed soon enough as well.
