It only appears to be a matter of time before Jurrien Timber is announced as an Arsenal player after being thrown a goodbye party.
The Dutch defender is closing in on a move to the Emirates Stadium after the Gunners agreed a fee with Ajax for his signature. He would become the second signing of the summer after Kai Havertz’s arrival from Chelsea.
Timber could also be followed by Declan Rice, who is on the verge of what would become a club-record £105m move. The Dutchman has already undergone a medical with his new club and it appears that the only thing keeping him from becoming an Arsenal player is an official announcement.
