Edu told £50 million is price to pay – Arsenal ‘hold positive’ transfer talks

ARSENAL are now in talks to sign Jurrien Timber from Ajax – although their £30 million offer has been rejected.

Timber is a man that has been linked with a move to the Premier League for the last 12 months – with suggestions that Newcastle and Liverpool are ready to battle Manchester United for his services.

Timber was a massive part of that Ajax side last season and it is believed that a few of £40 million would be enough to get a transfer deal done.

Now – it has been claimed that Arsenal are the first club to make a move for the player and make an opening bid for the Dutchman.

However – The Dutch club want £50m to part ways with the 22-year-old, although talks have been positive – according to the TalkSport website.

Timber has proven himself to be a very top player that would add some more depth to the squad – so if he was signed – he would be a very good addition to that Gunners side.

He is a player that will add some more quality to that defence and will add some more depth – which is what Mikel Arteta needs to push on from a good season this time around.

So he could be a very good signing for the Gunners – that is the ARSENAL board can get him for the right price. But there are also other teams chasing the man – so it will be very difficult to get that £50 million valuation down over the next few months
