He had been tracked for many weeks, and his arrival should delight all Arsenal fans. Flushed out for more than 45 million euros from Ajax Amsterdam, Jurriën Timber has settled down near the Emirates Stadium. A big blow for the Gunners, who strengthen their defense with a player who perfectly matches the philosophy of Mikel Arteta.
The Spanish technician also reacted this Friday to the signing of the 22-year-old Dutch crack: “we are really excited to have Jurrien join us. He is a versatile young defender, who will fit into our system and bring additional quality to our team. Jurrien is a young player, but he has already achieved so much. He has experienced more than once what it is like to go to a major international tournament, as well as the trophies he won with Ajax. We look forward to welcoming and integrating Jurrien into the team.No doubt Arsenal fans are eager to see their new number 12 in action.
