Jurrien Timber's brother, Shamier, has all but confirmed the Dutchman's £40million transfer to Arsenal from Ajax with a post on social media. The 22-year-old defender has completed a medical with the Gunners this weekend and is set to be announced as an Arsenal player next week.
Declan Rice is also on the verge of completing a £105million transfer to the Emirates Stadium next week after completing a two-part medical over the weekend. Timber and Rice will become the second and third signings of the summer transfer window after Kai Havertz became the first arrival in a £65million move from Chelsea.
Mikel Arteta is wasting little time in bolstering his squad ahead of the 2023/24 campaign as the Gunners prepare for a return to the Champions League. The Arsenal boss wanted to add reinforcements to the spine of his squad as he looks to go one step further next year and win the Premier League title ahead of Manchester City.
