According to Romano, Arsenal will work hard to close a deal in the ensuing hours and days because the player finds the club to be an alluring future endeavour. Despite Arsenal’s initial offer for the defender being rejected, Mike Verweij recently wrote for De Telegraaf that the two sides are expected to reach an agreement on a price for Timber.
Early this year, while Timber was in London attending the FA Cup final between Manchester United and Manchester City, he and his agent visited with Arsenal.
Despite competition from Bayern Munich, the youngster reportedly told his team he wants to join the Gunners. Following the rejection of Arsenal’s first offer, David Ornstein reports for The Athletic that negotiations are moving along favourably and that there is optimism on all parties that a deal will be made.
Ornstein broke the story of Arsenal’s £30 million Timber offer on Monday night. The versatile centre back, who has two years left on his contract and can also play right back or in midfield, is wanted by Ajax for £50 million, according to Ornstein.
The Evening Standard said that Arsenal is set to submit a new bid after their initial £30 million offer was rejected.
