Jurrien Timber will complete a £45million move to Arsenal this week - despite a warning from Dutch legend Marco van Basten that he could become stuck on the bench at the Emirates.
Timber has agreed a five-year contract with the Gunners after Ajax accepted a third offer for their 22-year-old defender that will net them £40million up front and £5million in add-ons. And he is scheduled to arrive in London in the next 72 hours to seal the deal.
But Timber was given a bitter send-off by former Holland striker Van Basten when the pair appeared live together on Dutch TV - with the outspoken pundit warning the player that he is making a big mistake.
