Jakub Kiwior drops fresh Arsenal transfer hint with Jurrien Timber welcome message

Jakub Kiwior says that he's "glad there's going to be more competition" at Arsenal, who are close to completing the signing of fellow defender Jurrien Timber from Ajax.

The Gunners have already agreed personal terms with Timber, 22, over a five-year contract and submitted two bids for the Dutchman, the second being worth £38million. Reports suggest that although Ajax are yet to respond to the follow-up offer, confidence is growing at the Emirates and Kiwior's comments indicate that the Arsenal squad are now expecting Timber's imminent arrival.

Back home in Poland following the recent international fixtures, during which Kiwior scored his first goal for his country in their 1-0 friendly victory over Germany, the Arsenal centre-back was asked about new players joining the Gunners during an interview with Meczyki.
