Manchester United hero Jaap Stam has previously pinpointed the one main weakness in Arsenal transfer target Jurrien Timber's game
The Gunners are progressing in their hope of signing the Ajax defender after an opening bid of £30million was rejected by the Eredivisie giants last week. A second offer has since been submitted by the north Londoners, football.london understands, with personal terms on a deal to 2028 already agreed with the 22-year-old.
Timber's ball-playing ability and versatility certainly make him an exciting signing for Mikel Arteta's side, with the Dutch international more than capable of inverting into midfield from right-back as well as operating in his favoured centre-half role. But former United defender Stam has raised some questions regarding the youngster, claiming that he lacks the aggression that Red Devils star Lisandro Martinez possesses.
