Arsenal now likely to sign Ajax defender Jurrien Timber In our opinion, Arsenal are now looking very likely to sign Jurrien Timber from Ajax in the summer transfer window. It seems that the Gunners have already convinced the Netherlands international to make the switch to the Emirates Stadium. That Timber wants to move to Arsenal ahead of Bayern Munich is massive. It shows just how big a pull Arsenal are under manager Mikel Arteta. Now, of course, Ajax will try to get a deal done closer to the £50 million transfer fee, but if Timber has made it clear to the Eredivisie club that he wants to join Arsenal, then it is likely that they will eventually sell him.
