Arsenal recently signed Timber from Ajax in a deal worth an initial £34.2 million.

But Mikel Arteta’s side were not the only club pursuing a move for the Dutch international, with Manchester United and Bayern Munich both heavily linked over the last 12 months.

Timber has now explained his decision to pick the north London club over others.

“To be honest, I had some options, but Arsenal was the only one I chose,” the 22-year-old told The Mirror.

“It is a beautiful club. Look at last year. Of course, the previous years were beautiful, but last year you saw a major step. The team grows, and I want to be a part of it.

“Sometimes it is just a feeling. The way they play, the way I talk with the trainer, I just had a good feeling with it.”
