For Kai Havertz and Jurrien Timber, the only club they wanted to join this summer was Arsenal. Both stars are at different stages of their summer move to the Gunners, but the expectation is that the duo will be in north London for the 2023/24 season.
Havertz is joining in a £65million move from Chelsea with the first part of his medical being completed this past weekend. As for Timber, an initial £30million bid was rejected by Ajax earlier this month but there was always confidence that a compromise would be found, with the Dutch defender having no objections regarding an Arsenal switch.
Over the past few days, the move gathered significant pace with Dutch outlet Telegraaf reporting that Timber has reached a verbal agreement with the Gunners on a contract until 2028. The 22-year-old will see his salary double in north London as he is set to earn €8million (£6.9million) per year.
