Ajax is eagerly awaiting Arsenal’s completion of the signing of Jurrien Timber in the coming days, as they seek to address some of their financial challenges. Recent reports suggest that the Gunners and the Dutch club have reached an agreement regarding the transfer fees for the talented defender, paving the way for his imminent move to Arsenal.
However, Arsenal’s current focus is primarily on securing the services of Declan Rice, who is their primary target for the summer transfer window. As a result, negotiations with Ajax for the signing of Timber have been momentarily postponed, leaving the player and his club patiently awaiting Arsenal’s official bid.
According to a report from AD News, Ajax is keen to finalise the sale of Timber, as they believe his departure will contribute significantly to resolving their financial difficulties. It is further revealed that Timber had previously met with Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta and expressed his desire to join the team, indicating a strong interest in the potential transfer.
Just Arsenal Opinion
We can understand why Ajax is keen to finish the business, but we have already secured an agreement for his signature and they need to be a little more patient with us to return with the money to sign him.
Having the defender in our squad is exciting and we now have enough cover at the back to make us solid in several competitions.

Ajax are getting pretty impatient.
FFP is behind all the delay regards the completion of the deal, mid-week hopefully.
While all the transfer new is great to date we only have one player in Rice & Timber still not officially done yet and are we any stronger with the in coming players compared to the out going I don’t think so we still need another quality signing like Cacedoe to make the midfield better and another striker which we have in balagon maybe another winger
Whatever are the reasons occasioned in the delays encountered by both Arsenal the buyers and Ajax the sellers. Both parties should hasten up and put heads together joining hands. And get the deal transferring Timber from Ajax to Arsenal this summer done and dusted over the line. Latest on Monday 3rd June 2023 unfailingly. Without anymore delays suffered to the transfer. So that Ajax, Arsenal and Timber will have rest of minds on this transfer that is increasing looking to turn to a transfer saga
The delays are unfortunate, let’s hope these deals go through soon,on the striker front, as much as l like Jesus for his work rate and commitment he is not a great finisher and for now l would like to see Mikel have faith in Balogun as he has goals in him and has in my opinion earned the opportunity.
