Arsenal have reached an agreement to sign Ajax defender Jurrien Timber in a deal worth £38.5m.
The Gunners will pay an initial £34.2m for the 22-year-old Netherlands international, with a further £4.3m payable in performance-related add-ons.
Timber, who came through the Ajax academy and has made 160 senior appearances for the club, is expected to have a medical in the coming days and finalise personal terms ahead of the move.
He has been a long-term target for Arsenal and is set to become their third signing of the summer following the £65m arrival of Kai Havertz and the imminent £105m deal for West Ham’s Declan Rice.
