Arsenal have reportedly submitted a second bid for the transfer of Ajax defender Jurrien Timber as they aim to get the deal completed this week.
That’s according to Fabrizio Romano via his official Twitter account, with the journalist explaining that the Gunners have already agreed personal terms with Timber on a five-year contract, while they also saw an opening offer of £30m for him turned down by Ajax.

Talks advancing between clubs after £30m opening bid rejected.
Timber has shown himself to be an elite defensive talent, and looks a perfect fit for Mikel Arteta’s style of play.
The Netherlands international can play centre-back, right-back or defensive midfield, so could very much be the Oleksandr Zinchenko of the right-hand side for Arsenal.
Still only 22 years of age, Timber is not even at his peak yet, so could have many great years ahead of him at the Emirates Stadium.
