Arsenal make opening offer for Man Utd transfer target but are £20m below price tag

Arsenal have tried to gazump Liverpool and Manchester United by making a bid for Jurrien Timber – but they remain way short of Ajax’s asking price.

Timber has attracted interest from top Premier League sides following a solid campaign for Ajax. The 22-year-old defender made 47 appearances in all competitions for the Dutch giants last season and looks likely to leave Amsterdam in the summer transfer window.

He has previously been linked with Liverpool and United, but the Gunners have made the first move. The Athletic says Arsenal have tabled a £30million bid for the defender, which is £20m short of Ajax’s asking price.
