Arsenal have submitted a second official proposal to Ajax, in order to get a deal for centre-back Jurriën Timber completed this week.

Talks have progressed between the clubs after Arsenal’s opening bid of £30m was rejected. Personal terms have already been agreed with Timber, with the 22-year-old expected to sign a five-year contract if a transfer fee can be negotiated.
