After Kai Havertz and Declan Rice, Arsenal completes the signing of a defender
Arsenal have so far completed the signing of Kai Havertz and are also Declan Rice. A report has now revealed that the gunners have completed another signing.
Arsenal have made significant strides in their summer transfer dealings, with reports suggesting that the club has reached a full agreement with Ajax to sign Jurrien Timber. The Athletic has revealed that negotiations have been completed on a fee of €40 million, with an additional €5 million in largely realistic bonuses. The 22-year-old defender has been granted permission to undergo a medical and finalize personal terms, indicating that the deal is nearing completion.
Jurrien Timber is primarily a centre-back but also possesses the versatility to play as a right-back, which would undoubtedly be appreciated by Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta. With the Gunners looking to strengthen their defensive options, Timber’s arrival could provide much-needed depth and competition within the squad.
This potential signing comes on the back of Arsenal’s successful acquisition of Kai Havertz from Chelsea for a reported fee of £65 million. The 24-year-old German midfielder adds significant quality and creativity to Arteta’s midfield, showcasing the club’s ambition in this summer transfer window.
However, it appears that Arsenal’s spending spree may not end there. Speculation suggests that Declan Rice could be their next target, with reports indicating that the Gunners are close to securing his services from West Ham United in a staggering £105 million deal. Rice’s arrival would further bolster Arsenal’s midfield options and solidify their defensive stability.
With these potential signings, Arsenal fans can be optimistic about the team’s prospects for the upcoming season. The addition of Jurrien Timber would provide Arteta with more tactical flexibility and depth in defense, while Havertz and potentially Rice would significantly strengthen their midfield.
Timber’s ability to play both as a centre-back and right-back offers Arteta more options when it comes to team selection and formation choices. His versatility will be particularly valuable given Arsenal’s desire to compete on multiple fronts throughout the season.
While some may argue that spending such substantial amounts on transfers is risky, it demonstrates Arsenal’s determination to return to the pinnacle of English football. The club’s ambition is clear, as they aim to assemble a squad capable of challenging for major honors once again.
As negotiations near completion, Arsenal fans eagerly await official confirmation of Timber’s arrival. If the deal goes through, he would join Havertz and potentially Rice as the Gunners’ third major signing of the summer. With these additions, Arsenal could be well on their way to building a formidable team capable of competing at the highest level.
Only time will tell if these transfer dealings will pay off for Arsenal, but one thing is certain – the club is making a statement of intent in their pursuit of success.
