Timber is wanted by some of the top clubs in Europe. The 22-year-old has already proved his potential at international level and in the Champions League for Ajax. Because of this, Timber could be a huge addition to Arsenal making them more defensively investable.
Marcus Thuram joins Inter
Marcus Thuram has officially joined Inter as a free agent. The Italian side advanced all of the way to the Champions League final last season but failed to edge Manchester City and this could be the addition they need to strengthen.
Thuram is a 25-year-old striker who also offers versatility on the wing. He has also spent the last four seasons in the Bundesliga for Monchengladbach where he picked up an impressive 16 goals and six assists in his most recent campaign.
