Arsenal are facing a slight delay in a transfer switch for Jurrien Timber this summer as a deal with Ajax is still being discussed, according to Fabrizio Romano. It comes after some reports claimed that an agreement had been reached with the Dutch club over a switch.
football.london understands that the Gunners are keen to bolster their options in defence this summer, with interest held in Timber and talks progressing. The north London outfit had a £30million bid rejected last week for the 22-year-old, but another offer is still in discussions.
The move for the Dutch international represents a quick start to the transfer window for Arsenal as they look to get their deals completed swiftly. A move for Kai Havertz has already been announced as the 24-year-old joins from rivals Chelsea in a deal worth £65million.
