Arsenal 'highjacked' Jurrien Timber from 2 Premier League rivals (reliability: 3 stars)

Arsenal have recently tabled an opening bid of £30 million to Ajax for centre-back Jurrien Timber, according to multiple top sources.

And FootballTransfers claim that the Gunners made their move after learning that Manchester United and Liverpool 'were stepping up their interest'.

Mikel Arteta's side acted quickly to 'highjack' the deal from their Premier League rivals as they look to bolster their squad ahead of the return to the Champions League.

Timber is pushing to join Arsenal this summer but the Eredivisie giants are asking for at least £50 million. The Gunners are hoping to bring the number down in the next few weeks, though.
