It’s been a long time coming, but Arsenal have finally announced the signing of Jurrien Timber.
The former Ajax star is now officially a Gunner, and once the Declan Rice saga is over and done with, Mikel Arteta can get right down to business in pre-season.
Timber and his family were introduced to the manager at Arsenal’s training ground on a bright, sunny day, something that the Spaniard comically made reference to during his welcome.
With Arsenal’s pre-season having already started, the player will need to get up to speed quickly if he wants to be considered as a starter when the whistle goes in their first Premier League fixture in just a few weeks time.
