Jurriën Timber is close to a move to Arsenal. The defender of Ajax can make the transfer to the Gunners for about forty million pounds. Who should succeed him in Amsterdam?
In #DoneDeal the podcast of VoetbalPrimeur is called the name of Zeno Debast. The name of Josip Sutalo also comes up. “But the dream transfer for me would be Josip Sutalo from Dinamo Zagreb,” the podcast discusses. However, the 23-year-old defender comes with a hefty price tag. “He played with Croatia in the Nations League. Sutalo is really a top player. He is also linked to top clubs. Ajax will certainly have to pay twenty million euros for it, but if they get him, they will not get a lesser defender than Timber. “
In the Eredivisie, Mees Hilgers may also have a potential replacement. “He has also seen a lot of a Timber type. Playing football and with his steps forward. Defensively, however, he is still vulnerable”, it is seen.
Konstantinos Mavropanos from VfB Stuttgart could also be an option. Mavropanos is an old acquaintance of technical director Sven Mislintat. “He was brought to Stuttgart and to Arsenal by Mislintat. The connection is there. He is 25 years old so he could be there immediately.”
