Jurrien Timber spotted after Arsenal medical as Mikel Arteta given advice on new signing

Jurrien Timber travelled back to the Netherlands to say goodbye to his Ajax teammates on Saturday after completing a medical with Arsenal.

Timber was spotted on the sidelines watching as Ajax drew 2-2 with FC Den Bosch in their first friendly of the pre-season on Saturday. His appearance came after he was in London on Friday to complete a medical ahead of a transfer to Arsenal.

The Gunners have agreed to pay Ajax €40million (£34.3m) plus €5m (£4.3m) in potential add-ons for the 22-year-old defender. He will become their second signing of the summer transfer window, following the £65m addition of Kai Havertz and preceding the £105m capture of top target Declan Rice.
