Jurrien Timber's transfer from Ajax to Arsenal has unofficially been confirmed with another leak following on from Kai Havertz's switch also facing the same outcome. The Germany international had completed a £65million move to the Gunners from Chelsea but saw his official unveiling ruined after leaks emerged of his first interview along with images of him holding and wearing an Arsenal shirt.
Havertz was Mikel Arteta's first summer signing with Timber expected to follow as football.london understands Arsenal could pay up to £38.5million for the Netherlands international with £34.2million paid as the upfront fee with a further £4.3million available in add-ons.
The Gunners wanted Timber to make an appearance in the pre-season friendly against Nurnberg on Thursday and for that to happen a confirmed announcement should arrive on Wednesday.
