One of the great protagonists of the transfer market in Europe is Arsenal. The London club, led by Mikel Arteta, has just broken the market with the signing of Declan Rice, the West Ham midfielder. Declan Rice, 24, became the most expensive English footballer in history, surpassing the 114 million euros that Jack Grealish cost Manchester City. Initially, West Ham rejected an offer of 95 million euros because they considered it insufficient and also one from Manchester City, which offered 105 million euros.
Arsenal managed to reach an agreement after agreeing to pay 122 million. The contract that Declan Rice will sign will be for six seasons, with the option of one more season. His salary will be around 13 million euros per year, being one of Arsenal’s best payments.

However, that’s not all, because Arsenal have now delivered another market hit. The English team paid 55 million euros and kept Jurrien Timber, star defender of Ajax and the Netherlands National Team. The 22-year-old defender accepted the offer and will travel to London in the next few hours for a medical check-up and the signing of the contract.
Timber is from Arsenal.
Timber came from Ajax and since 2019 he has played in the Ajax first team, accumulating 122 games. Timber comes from playing the Qatar 2022 World Cup with the Netherlands National Team, where he earned a place and played four games. In Arsenal they hope to present Timber in the next week.
After Declan Rice, Arsenal complete also Jurrien Timber deal as expected – never been in doubt.

It is worth remembering that in addition to Declan Rice and Timber, Arsenal has already introduced Kai Havertz, for whom they paid 75 million euros to Chelsea. Arsenal will play the Premier League, the Champions League again and Mikel Arteta will seek to fight it directly again.
What will Timber’s contract be like at Arsenal?
Arsenal will give him a contract until June 2028 and will have a salary of close to 4 million euros. Timber arrives to start Mikel Arteta.
