Arsenal are reportedly on the verge of reaching an agreement with Jurrien Timber over a bumper new contractamid all the speculation and rumours that he was a player that Liverpool were pretty much interested in signing.
Timber has established himself as a key part of Mikel Arteta’s fragile defence, playing at both right-back and centre-back, to help the *ARSENAL*‘ cement themselves as Premier League title favourites.
Liverpool, the reigning champions, meanwhile have struggled for consistency all season, especially at the back having already shipped 26 goals in 18 games. Captain Virgil van Dijk appears a shadow of his former self, while Trent Alexander-Arnold’s exit continues to be keenly felt.
That has led to all sorts of speculation and rumours in the media which have claimed that Liverpool will once again delve into that transfer kitty and add some more players to the side, with a defender and attacker possibly on the agenda for boss Arne Slot
The Netherlands international has two-and-a-half years remaining on his current deal at the Emirates Stadium and Mikel Arteta’s side have been locked in extension talks for several weeks as they look to finalise fresh terms with the ex-Ajax star.
That is according to TEAMtalk" href="https://www.teamtalk.com/arsenal/new-jurrien-timber-contract-at-gunners" target="_blank" rel="noopener">TEAMtalk, who claim that Timber is set to be handed a lucrative new deal by the Arsenal hierarchy.
A full agreement is almost finalised and an announcement is expected to take place shortly, with the 24-year-old on the verge of becoming the latest ARSENAL star to pen fresh terms at the club.
IcFootballnews Says…
Since Timber come to the Premier League just a few seasons ago, he has been a player that Mikel Arteta has been able to rely on ad signing him up to a new contract means that he should be around for a few more seasons.
But it also means that if clubs do want Timber, they will now have to pay alot more money.
