Utrecht assistant boss Urby Emanuelson is backing an Arsenal move for Ajax defender Jurrien Timber.
It's emerged Arsenal have lodged a 30m offer for Timber amid rival interest from Liverpool.
Former Fulham defender Emanuelson Voetbal Primeur's #DoneDeal podcast: In my opinion, he is a very great talent.
I know that the Timber family is very good at planning the careers of the brothers. On the one hand, I think Jur is ready for the step. On the other hand, if you've had a lesser season at Ajax I find it difficult to advise him.
I would choose Arsenal. Why? They treat young players very well there. If you see how they deal with Martinelli, Odegaard, Saka They are all guys who are allowed to make mistakes and are made important at the same time.
(He) has the potential to become the absolute top. That's why Arsenal would be a good step. Arsenal is growing, they will build on that."
