Arsenal transfer news – Gunners working on Jurrien Timber deal
Perhaps the most trusted journalist within Arsenal’s realm is David Ornstein, which is why fans were ecstatic to see his transfer update last night.
The Athletic journalist claimed that Arsenal are interested in signing Jurrien Timber of Ajax and have already offered £30m to sign him. However, Fabrizio Romano provided an update on the situation, that Ajax want more than £30m so Arsenal will need to increase their bid.
The good news is, though, that the player wants to move, which will help Arsenal in their personal terms.

They want him, but the ball is in West Ham’s court, according to the report.
