Arsenal are continuing to push for moves to sign Declan Rice and Kai Havertz this summer, but there is also serious interest in Ajax defender Jurrien Timber.
The Dutch international, who can play at right-back and centre-back, fits the bill perfectly for Mikel Arteta. The Gunners boss has made no secret of his admiration of versatile players in the past and has a proven record of getting the best out of players capable of playing in a number of positions.
Earlier this week, it emerged that Arsenal had been unsuccessful in their opening bid worth £30million by Ajax. football.london understands that a bid significantly higher than the original offer would be enough to prise the 22-year-old away from Amsterdam.
