Jurrien Timber to Arsenal transfer sees player terminate his contract ‘in protest’

Netherlands international Jurrien Timber completed his £38.5million transfer from Ajax to Arsenal on Friday afternoon – signing a five-year deal with the Gunners

Dusan Tadic has left Ajax after asking for his contract to be terminated – just hours after Jurrien Timber’s transfer to Arsenal.

Ajax confirmed Tadic’s departure on Friday night and insist it was the “player’s request” to leave the Dutch giants. Reports earlier on Friday suggested the Serbia international, 34, was refusing to attend training ‘in protest’ of Timber’s move to Arsenal.

Timber, 22, has joined the Gunners in a £38.5million deal after weeks of speculation. He is the second player to join Mikel Arteta’s squad this summer after Kai Havertz, with Declan Rice expected to complete a £105m transfer from West Ham shortly.

Tadic’s contract with Ajax wasn’t due to expire until June 2024, but he’s now a free agent following Friday night’s news. Ajax haven’t referred to Timber’s transfer in their confirmation of his exit, with the player admitting the decision to leave was “a very hard one”.
